      Verdict

      The consistent Ruwaya deserves to get her head in front, but she again looks likely to play only a minor role in this. Starring, out of a mare that barely stayed a mile, is open to improvement, but there must be a doubt about the trip. This looks set to revolve around Tripper and Alashaan, who filled the places behind Romany Prince at Newmarket. Although the former came out the best that day, she left the impression that she needed a stiffer test, so it is arguable that this track may well be too sharp for her. Alashaan is taken to gain her revenge on this easier track, with the faster surface also likely to be in her favour.
