Forecasts

Verandah (3/1), Billesdon Brook (4/1), Izzy Bizu (5/1), Quivery (11/2), Ertiyad (15/2), Whitefountainfairy (10/1), Peace Trail (12/1), Santorini Sun (25/1), Your Choice (25/1), Miss Bar Beach (33/1)

QUIVERY can maintain her unbeaten record by taking a competitive renewal of this Group 3 fillies contest. The selection followed up a Doncaster success when justifying odds-on favouritism under a penalty last time out and can get the better of the well-bred Verandah who is another defending an unbeaten record having won on debut at Kempton earlier this month. The join-most experienced runner in the race Billesdon Brook has some decent course form to her name and is taken to claim third here.
