Verdict
Lady Perignon is probably capable of better than she's shown so far and will strip fitter for a recent pipe-opener at Kempton. Shadow Spirit has been racing over further but she was only beaten a head over this trip at Nottingham a year ago. Apache Song also drops down in distance so DHEYAA looks to have a good chance of opening her account if first-time blinkers have the desired effect. She was third over a mile at Kempton last month in between a couple of close-up seconds over 7f on Turf.
