Only a head separated Gale Force Maya and CHIL CHIL (NAP) in this grade at Pontefract in August and the latter is now 3lb better off. She’s not been disgraced in better company since and is overdue a seventh career success. Azure Blue is developing into a decent sprinter and holds Cuban Breeze on the form book. Primo Bacio is probably better over 7f and found 6f too sharp behind Gale Force Maya at York last time while Pink Crystal and Tenaya Canyon were beaten by the top weight over an extended 5f at Ayr. Another Romance is stepped up in class but Manaafith has more scope having won three of her four starts to date.
