AZAHEER improved for the application of headgear when only beaten a head over a mile here. The Gosdens’ filly will stay this far and is preferred to stablemate and newcomer Mhajim. Caryatid is another upped in distance on her first outing since September and all-weather debut but Neandra placed over today’s trip at Chelmsford on last month’s introduction and can figure. Rogue Mission is related to five winners and is worth a second glance.
