No lack of winning form in this. Both Kummiya and Palisade bid for hat-tricks under penalties but the former steps up in trip along with recent course winner Jimenez. Hollywood Road and Glance My Way scored over today’s trip at Newmarket and Haydock respectively and an apprentice’s allowance negates a rise in the weights for Don Cantillon’s charge. But BLIND FAITH made a winning start over 1m2f in a maiden at Chelmsford in June and the Cumani filly may well find enough improvement on her handicap bow to land a wide open contest.
