Oscula had a pot hunt in Saudi Arabia in February but something went amiss with George Boughey’s filly. She has every chance if back to her best but DAWN OF LIBERATION also has strong claims on these terms after landing a conditions race at Goodwood and Richard Hannon’s inmate may prove the one to side. Ever Given had a tough task in the Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock and connections take a step up in trip while Andrew Balding is saddling plenty of winners lately so Star From Afarhh may be capable of improving upon her seasonal reappearance.
