Verdict
Sister Rosetta showed massive improvement to make all at Down Royal when Maggie Thunder was third and the three-year-old Harmony Rose close behind in fourth. The latter has the most scope and looks the one to take from the race though Jarvis, who won here in April, looks to have a better chance and looks best of Ger Lyons' pair. SHABAABY, three times a winner in the UK, hasn't scored for Jonny Levins but returned from a long break with a narrow defeat by Collective Power at Down Royal and the assessor has left him on the same mark so he can go one better.
