In depth
Verdict
Doyen La Lutte won a mares’ maiden between the flags in December but might find today’s going quicker than ideal. CREDO bolted up on her debut under Rules at Plumpton. She has a penalty to carry but looks above average and can keep the nicely-bred Henderson newcomer Blue Heaven at bay. Vive De Charnie is Flat bred while Houi Cherie is related to a host of winners in France though, like Sapphire Bombay, was a cheap buy. Maid On The Moon and Shiroccy Road are likely improvers however.
