Verdict
Donnybrook landed the odds at Yarmouth in October but the Godolphin filly has to concede weight to ESPRIT ROSE. The latter also ran at Yarmouth last time when finishing runner-up and is just preferred to Fromnowon, who went close over today’s trip at Newbury before struggling over 7f. Strawberry Hind has a bit to find on these terms and Able Grace needs to improve while Electric Mistress was no match for the winner at Newcastle at the start of the month but did run well for second.
