In depth

Verdict

The Haggas yard is in flying form and RAZEYNA is taken to defy a penalty. She made a winning debut when beating a subsequent winner at Newbury last month and is preferred to the other winner in the field, Monaadah. Saeed bin Suroor’s colt landed a conditions race on the Turf at Meydan in March while Tothenines also debuts on the all-weather having found one too good in both starts so far. Willem Twee wasn’t beaten far at Kempton last month and makes more appeal than the newcomer All Are Mine.
