Verdict

An intriguing Group 2 contest for the fillies with plenty holding a realistic chance. West End Girl was a gritty winner of the Sweet Solera Stakes at Newmarket (Ananya fifth) and rates as impossible to knock. Furthermore, the likes of Run Wild (Gosden), Cloak Of Spirits (Hannon) and more significantly the Galileo filly Passion (O'Brien) have boundless potential. However, with the greatest of respect the Tom Dascombe-trained BOOMER would be shorter in the market if hailing from a high-profile stable. She's done nothing but improve in her last couple of starts, beating the subsequent Salisbury winner Dark Lady at Glorious Goodwood (Prestige Stakes).
  1. Boomer
  2. Passion
  3. West End Girl
