      Verdict

      Judith is a fascinating runner for the Gosdens as she moves into Listed grade after landing victories in maiden and novice company. She's given the impression of just doing enough both times and this is likely to tell us how good she is. Achelois is proven both at this level and in high-class handicaps and a repeat of her recent excellent second in the John Smith's Cup at this track puts her bang in contention. However, POPTRONIC has done nothing but improve since her runner-up debut at Wolverhampton in November and landed an important Group 3 success last month at Newcastle. This is only her second start on grass but she delivered a five-length success at Ripon on her penultimate start, so this should not prove any issue for the daughter of Nathaniel.
