In depth
Verdict
This looks a decent opportunity for SAGUNA. She was clear of the rest when runner-up at Salisbury, where the mile trip stretched her stamina to the limit, and that looks stronger form than Perfect Orange has managed so far. Tafolau is related to a couple of winners and any strong support for her in the betting could prove significant but fellow newcomer She's No Bimbo is harder to fancy.
