Verdict

MAGNOLIA arrives on the up and can defy a penalty to land the hat-trick, providing she settles back over a longer trip. Parisian Fashion made a pleasing comeback at Newcastle and looks the main danger, especially if getting her own way in front. Of the rest, handicap debutante Lowlands' recent second has been given a boost, while Feach Amach finished ahead of Magnolia/Parisian Fashion earlier in the year and cannot be discounted if back on song returned to mares' company.
