Verdict

VRHELIGONNE has joined a top outfit following her Irish point second, so she earns the vote before market clues. Popton Point overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Wetherby and should have more to offer under a penalty, while Gentora is another likely type on paper to keep an eye on in the betting.
