In depth
Verdict
A couple of these should be winning soon with Burning Desire having decent claims after finishing third at Newbury with Evelith Hall well beaten. But MUWALAAH is preferred getting plenty of weight from the older horses after finishing second over 1m2f at Doncaster and Roger Varian's filly gets the nod. Likely improvers include Prescience, Mishghar and Golden Bullet while Irish Hawke is a half-brother to an Italian Oaks winner among others and should also give a good account stepping up in trip.
