Verdict
SADDAQA found Fledged just too good at Lingfield last time but finished a street ahead of the third. Saeed Bin Suroor's charge stands out on that form and should be opening her account with normal progress. She's preferred to the other Godolphin filly, Invincible Magic, but Phaenomena has improved with every run and should be in the mix while Annawi showed ability to claim third at Nottingham on her debut and can also figure. Palkin ran below par behind the latter at Nottingham but had posted a much better effort on her debut at Doncaster and Aquilla is another who should go well stepping up in trip.
