Racing Post verdict
Third-partyStellar Quality has been lightly raced and is improving — third last time, staying on from a shorter trip, and now stepping up to today's longer distance which looks a clear plus given she is effective at 12–14f on a sound surface. Switch From Diesel is a classy performer who won a novice hurdle convincingly last time and must be respected back on the flat with a significant jockey booking. Earthsong, a recent winner who looks capable of further progress now settling into a clear routine, is the other key danger. Stellar Quality is our selection.
