Verdict

There are some potential improvers in this contest; none moreso than the impressive Newbury scorer CAP SOLEIL who was well backed when winning on her debut. Looking back at that run it didn’t look the strongest field but she won impressively brushing aside her nine rivals with relative ease. This is obviously a rise in grade for her and it remains to be seen how she copes with the bigger field and the different track but she sets the standard here. The Henderson runner Daphne Du Clos is the unknown quantity in the race having won her only start in France but given the record of her stable in this sphere she has to be respected on her first start for the yard albeit in testing company. If there is one at a bigger price that looks interesting them it would be the well-related Cockney Wren who showed some good speed on her debut at Taunton and if that can be harnessed here in what is a tougher test of stamina she might be dangerous in the closing stages. 1. Cap Soleil 2. Daphne Du Clos 3. Cockney Wren
