Verdict
LOOBY was very green at Windsor earlier this month and is likely to have come on markedly for the experience. Dazzling Star clearly needed her run at Kempton and Royal Elysian was well ahead of Idle Assembly when second to a Godolphin filly at Haydock but was still beaten 11 lengths. Hard To Resist is by Dubawi and the first foal to race of a Listed winner so is definitely worth a market check.
