        Verdict

        It was soft ground when Magnificence went close at Ffos Las but Sarah's Verse does most of her winning here, though looks a shade high in the weights. The same comment applies to Symbol of Hope, who has won five times at this venue, and he found CONNIE’S ROSE too good here in June - the latter should go close again especially if the ground dries out further. Airshow won this in 2021 but is closely matched with Parisiac on latest running at Windsor.
