Verdict
FAIR PASS was no match for the winner at Kempton on her debut but showed enough to suggest she can win at this level and Marco Botti’s filly gets the vote. The others with racecourse experience are difficult to recommend but one of the newcomers can figure. Dark Lady is a half-sister to a winning sprinter and So Sharp is related to useful stablemate Nate The Great but Vividly is bred to be best over further. Jouska is a half-sister to three winners and Miss Paxman has plenty of speed in her family.
