Verdict

The Gosdens' FRIENDLY SOUL is fancied to put her Musidora flop firmly behind her and belatedly confirm herself a very smart filly. Charlie Appleby's unbeaten Devoted Queen presents a major threat however with more progress on the cards, while Soprano and Sirona come here in top form and shouldn't be underestimated either in a fascinating Group 3.
