In depth
Verdict
SHABABIYA was stopped in her run at Haydock and allowed to come home in her own time. Her half-brother Emirates Empire won around here and Ralph Beckett’s filly can put her experience to good use today. Diamonds At Dusk ran green at Chester last week but was staying on in the closing stages while Roger Varian’s newcomer Zeyaadah is sure to attract plenty of interest as she is a half-sister to several winners.
