Verdict
Volunteer Point has been in fine form here this year and has the beating of Saucy Minx back on the Polytrack. Light Music ended last term with a Listed success at Newbury when narrowly beating Make Fast, who sports the same colours. Both can be given a chance on that form while Rah Rah and QUALITY TIME (NAP) represent Godolphin. The former won a conditions race over 6f at Wolverhampton on her return but Saeed Bin Suroor’s filly is preferred after placing behind subsequent Fred Darling winner Marenko early last month and having only her third start today. Squash was runner-up in the Nell Gywn recently, while Ashadihan was second in the Albany Stakes at Ascot last year but steps up in trip for the first time.
