Verdict
Aqwaam hinted at ability on debut at Newmarket a year ago but has changed stables since. Dukedom was a beaten favourite in four of his five runs last year but has been gelded since last seen at Chelmsford in December and his rider claims a handy 7lb. A half-sister to four winners, MAGGIE AND ME was no match for previous winner Natasha at Sandown in September but the latter is well regarded and the Charltons’ Time Test filly should have the pace to cope with a drop back to 7f. Footsy is out of a mare that has produced winners with all four of her offspring to so far race and the Haggas newcomer should be monitored closely for any market support along with the Godolphin four-year-old Shining Blue.
