      Verdict

      Godolphin set a real puzzle for punters with two fillies in the race and with Willowing just 4lb higher than when she won on the Polytrack last autumn, and Controversy likely to be fully primed after three starts this season, it would be a brave man to rule either out. Roger Varian has always held HUFFOOF in high regard and though she disappointed over further at Pontefract, she'd won well on a previous visit to the West Yorkshire track and the form of that race has worked out well. Soryah stayed on resolutely on her first attempt at the trip, and the question will be as to whether the assessor has got his sums right. Play Street appears capable of giving her running on any surface though she faces no easy task in conceding the weight-for-age allowance.
