Verdict
BLOSSOMTIME had a subsequent winner back in third when winning her maiden at Newmarket. That looks stronger form than Thirsk winner Mecca's Missus and the Godolphin filly gets the vote. Penny Pot Lane won at Ripon earlier but was up against it in a novices race at Beverley last time while Millennium Falcon has been set a couple of stiff tasks since landing her maiden at Thirsk back in May. Kempton runner-up Gwendolyn never figured at Newbury last time but looks best of the remainder.
