      Verdict

      Say Grace has hardly beaten a rival in her last three starts and is best watched but a decent case can be made for the remainder. The last two runs of Whistledown read well enough at this level but Twilight Zone is inconsistent. Emerald Lady remains a maiden after seven starts but has improved this term. Speranzoso delivered his best run to date on the all-weather at Lingfield last month and will need to transfer that form to Turf and the same comment applies to DONNA ITALIANA. But she was only beaten a length at Southwell on her latest start and likely to do better again now going handicapping.
