Verdict

ILLUMINATED BEAUTY hasn't quite kicked on from an encouraging third at Uttoxeter in August but she's shaped as if still in form and could have too much class for her rivals dropped into this weaker contest than previously. Road Warrior produced a big effort on his reappearance and is an obvious player if able to reproduce it, while several others have a chance in an open race.

  1. ILLUMINATED BEAUTY (IRE)
  2. ROAD WARRIOR
  3. TEKIBLUE DE L'ORME (FR)
