Naadirr won a conditions event at Doncaster last time but should go well again. Baccarat went close in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon a fortnight ago while Raucous and Windfast share the same mark and have also been handicapping without success. Mayfair Lady has struggled since landing a handicap at York in June and preference goes to stablemate EASTERN IMPACT. Richard Fahey’s charge found only one too good in a Group 3 sprint on a recent raid to the Curragh and beat Naadirr in a Group 3 at Ascot last year. He should make a bold bid with the remainder looking to have a bit to find on these terms.
