In depth
Verdict
Salisbury winner AJAADAT (NAP) was raised 5lb for that success but not beaten far despite finishing only fifth at Ripon last time. Roger Varian's filly may come out best with the likes of Talawat and Little Prairie both dropping back down in trip. The latter makes most appeal of that pair while top weight Bint Dandy is not out of this dropped in class. Stone Roses' earlier win at Chepstow came in a lower grade than this and she is 7lb higher today.
