      Verdict

      Ghaaliya made a winning debut over 6f at Kempton during the summer but struggled in Listed company last time. She’s preferred to Natural Value, fourth over track and trip last week, but is conceding plenty of weight to the newcomer POTAPOVA. Sir Michael Stoute’s filly is a sister to a winner and a half-sister to five others and may well be good enough at the first time of asking with Ryan Moore doing the steering. Torrkee and the Godolphin colt Lone Fighter are others to keep an eye on.
