Verdict

Those with experience don't set the bar that high so a chance is taken on newcomer SHE'S GOT SPIRIT, whose stable took this with a smart debutante back in 2020. Confidence in her prospects would increase should the betting vibes be strong. Ziggy's Triton can build on his Ripon debut second and prove pick of those with experience ahead of Mademoiselle. Karl Burke's Blue Force One is another first timer to keep a close eye on in the market.

  1. SHE'S GOT SPIRIT
