Verdict
Beverley winner Ghayadh was well beaten under a penalty at Newbury and is conceding weight all round again here but Yafta is getting closer, though his Newmarket second came over 7f. Amandine was very green on debut at HQ so a big improvement is expected here and she makes more appeal than Haydock third Viceroy Mac and the fully-exposed Kodiac Express. AUTHENTIC ART is by champion sprinter Dutch Art out of a prolific mare that has already produced several speedy types. He cost 75,000gns as a yearling and could be good enough to make a winning start to his career. Tabdeed is also worth a market check.
