Verdict

Grizzel won the Hilary Needler at Beverley before a poor effort in the Albany Stakes at Ascot where High On Love was also well beaten. Hellofahaste acquitted herself well in Listed company at Newmarket last time and steps up in distance while Frankie partnered On Her Toes when she won a handicap at Pontefract over 6f and is back on board today. CALARE (NAP) made a winning start over 7f at Doncaster last month when sent off a short-price favourite. Entered in a Group 2 next month, the Godolphin filly is obviously held in some regard and can find the necessary improvement to land this. Urban Fox remains unbeaten and is preferred to maiden winner Paulownia and Mia Cara as she steps up in class.
