In depth
Verdict
FABRIKA can shrug off a short absence to land this under the champ. Her Newbury conqueror, Carole's Spirit, went on to land a Listed contest and run well in a Grade 2 while the third and fourth have both completed hat-trick since over timber. The others are probably playing for places including stable companion Playhara. Maypole Lass is only a four-year-old but Wyfield Rose may have more scope.
