Verdict

It was probably a case of too much too soon for UNEQUAL LOVE at the York Ebor meeting where she finished down the field in a valuable, big-field handicap last month. The Dutch Art filly was progressing nicely prior to that and is taken to get back on track here. This will be no stroll in the park though, as Minnetonka and Hello Queen both arrive here on the back career-best performances, while the Grant Tuer-trained pair, Glorious Angel and Mersea, are also accorded respect.

  1. UNEQUAL LOVE
  2. MINNETONKA (IRE)
  3. HELLO QUEEN (IRE)
