Verdict
It’s proving difficult to defy a penalty in these novice races and Brighton scorer Soumei has to give 12lb to the fillies Queen Of Desire and L’AGE D’OR. Roger Varian’s charge has been placed the last twice, including once here, but she doesn’t appear to have a change of gear so preference is for Bob Cowell’s daughter of Iffraaj, who was in the lead at this trip when third last time on Polytrack. Be Be King showed improvement last time at Kempton but is not certain to appreciate the drop back to 5f.
