In depth
Verdict
EL HADEEYAH can make the most of her racecourse experience and come out best. She finished third at Newmarket last month and the runner-up has subsequently boosted the form by winning. Of the newcomers, 240,000gns purchase Gorgeous Star and the Godolphin filly Wild Beauty represent powerful yards while Between The Sheets is related to last year’s Lowther Stakes winner Miss Amulet. But Get Ahead makes more appeal as a full sister to Group 2 Mill Reef winner Alkumait and a half-sister to three other winners.
