Verdict
The Gosdens run two in this like last year, when the outsider of the pair won. Both GINZA and Al Asifah are bred for this trip but we just prefer Rab Havlin’s mount on this occasion. Anjo Bonita has only finished out of the frame once in seven starts but she looks fully exposed, as does Chealamy. Raimunda was staying on over a mile here on debut, however, and Queen Emma was slowly away when sixth at Newbury. Flammable is a half-sister to middle-distance winner Cheshire Academy so is also worth a second look.
