Verdict
Slope, placed in her first three starts, is probably the pick of those with experience in this but she is starting to look exposed and David Wachman's team is hardly in the best of form. Hazy Glow appears to be improving with experience but Ballydoyle's newcomer FRANCIS OF ASSISI, who comes from a very nice family, could be worth chancing on debut. He'll be much better when tackling a mile but may still have the pace to get the better of his rivals here from a decent draw. Coquette Noire also has an eye-catching pedigree and is another that may be worth following next year.
