Verdict
Haseef has only raced beyond 6f once before and Ed Walker’s grey may struggle to contain the younger NIKKI’S GIRL. William Buick takes over the reins on Ed Dunlop’s daughter of Mehmas, who has yet to win on Turf but was third off this mark over course and distance two runs ago. Mostallim is effective over 6f and 7f and won in this grade at Wolverhampton last month, though has struggled off higher marks since.
