        In depth

        Verdict

        Only two of these have previous course experience but Theydon Girls was tailed off on her debut at Newmarket. Pursuitofthestars has fared better but again came up short when a well-backed favourite on her reappearance over this trip at Lingfield. Godolphin's Sugar Strand is out of a mare that won a Listed race over a mile on Tapeta in Dubai so is worth a market check but RASMIYA is a half-sister to three winners including Above Average, who won a Group 3 at Sandown over this trip as a three-year-old – she can make a winning start. Sherdat is a full sister to the versatile Mijhaar and a half-sister to two other winners so should also have a future.
