Verdict
A decent renewal of this established fillies' juvenile contest. ABSOLUTELYFLAWLESS won the Lily Agnes at Chester and, with that race not attracting a penalty for this contest, connections will hope she can make it three on the reel. Parr Fire has been the only two-year-old winner out of Nigel Tinkler’s stable so far but she’s one of a number of winners from first season sire James Garfield. Distinguished Lady came up against a very useful winner on debut and won’t always be so unfortunate while Primrose Ridge won well here in April but this assignment is significantly tougher.
