Verdict

FIRST INSTINCT benefited from the return to 6f when runner-up in the Summer Stakes at York last month, the others who made the frame all winning next time out, and she is taken to go one better for her much-respected yard. Three-time course winner Havana Anna is feared most, ahead of Soul Love who beat several of today's rivals here on her latest outing.
