This race was always going to be on the cards for ORLAITH (NAP) after Iain Jardine’s filly showed a fine turn of foot to win a Listed race at Newbury. She holds American Lady on that run with Jonjo Stack’s filly, and also stablemate Piece of Paradise, due to run here yesterday. Al Rasmah beat three previous winners when making a winning debut at Chester three weeks ago and is preferred to her stable companion Aleneva, who also made a winning start. Final Option missed the break in a Group 3 at Salisbury after winning at Ripon and might have more scope than Lambeth Walk and Graceful Magic.
