Verdict

EARTH SHOT has the potential for considerable improvement on the back of her eye-catching debut second and should prove hard to beat for William Haggas. The main threat may come from newcomer Velvet Vega, particularly if the betting vibes are strong given the yard has been mopping up in similar races in recent weeks. Malika is a likely improver for last year's winning owner/trainer.
