Verdict

WISE AND WONDERFUL shaped better than the result on nursery debut at Goodwood, keeping on when hampered in the closing stages, so she is taken to resume her progress in this lower grade. She can see off the challenge of Greek Symphony who continues to go the right way, while Minster Boy could fare better up in trip.

1	Progressed again when scoring in straightforward fashion in maiden over this C&D last month. Had hopeless task from her position when tenth of 18 on nursery debut at Goodwood 15 days ago, so she's one to keep on the right side as she drops in grade. 1st Pick 1 Wise And Wonderful Jockey: David Probert Trainer: Andrew Balding J: David Probert T: Andrew Balding	99	-	-	-	46%

3	Has progressed with each of her 4 starts so far, making a successful nursery debut on the all-weather at Lingfield in July. Finished clear of the rest when never-nearer third of 6 at Leicester 5 days ago and she's not taken lightly. 2nd Pick 3 Greek Symphony Jockey: Ashley Lewis Trainer: Oliver Cole J: Ashley Lewis T: Oliver Cole	100	-	-	-	36%

4	Improved from debut when runner-up in 18-runner novice at Newbury (6f) in July. Unsuited by the drop back to 5f when well held in Super Sprint at the same course 9 days later, so he's worth another chance now tried over further (has been gelded). 3rd Pick 4 Minster Boy (Ire) Jockey: Charles Bishop Trainer: Eve Johnson Houghton J: Charles Bishop T: Eve Johnson Houghton	95	-	-	-	17%
