Golden Pass was narrowly beaten in Listed company at Pontefract last time when ahead of both Black Lotus and Eileendover but is conceding weight to several progressive three-year-olds in this including Talbeyah. The latter made a winning debut in handicaps when scoring at Salisbury while Abstinence came up short in a Group 3 at Newcastle when behind third-placed Oriental Mystique and is upped in distance along with FREE WIND (NAP). The Gosden filly defied a penalty in novice company at Doncaster last time and looks ready to take her chance at this level.
