Verdict
MANAAFITH has now won all six starts on the all-weather having landed a Listed race at Lingfield in February when beating higher rated horses than these. Roger Varian’s charge faces another progressive filly today in Queen Aminatu, who ended last year with a couple of Listed wins at Lingfield and Deauville and is another to consider. Aramis Grey beat a subsequent winner in a conditions' race over 7f last time but has a bit to find on these terms while the Irish filly Hodd's Girl has won six times at Dundalk but has yet to race over this far and was beaten in this grade at Wolverhampton last time. River Pride beat Fiduciary in a handicap at Wolverhampton but both face a tough task at the weights as does Smiling Sunflower.
