Al Shahaniya has won three times over shorter trips but is not badly treated if staying. Jawaayiz is another stepping up in trip while Genuine Approval won over 1m4f back in June. Trulee Scrumptious was placed at Newmarket over today’s distance and Kath's Legacy was runner-up over 1m1f at Sandown last time but both are upped a grade for this and YORKINDRED SPIRIT is preferred. She won at Yarmouth last month off a similar mark and this is easier than her latest task at Windsor.
