Verdict
Already a Group Three winner, Afandem finished ahead of Prince Of Lir and Yalta when fourth in the Flying Childers at Doncaster last time and should go close again. Trainer Jonathan Portman sent out the winner of this in 2014 and runs a smart filly in MRS DANVERS this year. She remains unbeaten having won the Super Sprint at Newbury before landing a Listed race at the same track and collateral form gives her every chance with Afandem especially receiving 6lb. Ballydoyle’s Courage Under Fire picked-up a maiden last time but was beaten in Group races before that and this is a lot tougher than the Listed contest Clem Fandango won at Ayr recently.
