Verdict
Try as you might it is almost impossible to ignore the claims of Misaayef in this modest contest and the Sir Michael Stoute-trained filly is expected to comfortably hold this modest looking bunch today. Trigger Mead is bred to appreciate a trip but edges out Lahob as the likeliest candidate for the forecast slot. However, Misaayef, as a daughter of Swain, is also going to improve the further she goes but has already shown enough to warrant plenty of respect at this level. She has shown signs of being a nervous type but need only run up to her reappreance form at Redcar to get off the mark here.
