In depth
Verdict
Night Sparkle won over hurdles in May and then scored on the Flat at Fairyhouse before launching a successful raid on Newbury last month but the Irish challenger has plenty on here raised a further 3lb. Haseefah is almost guaranteed to run her race but this may be an insufficient test of stamina for Haizoom. Malakahna can be forgiven her run on testing going at Ascot, however, though a quartet of three-year-olds have more scope. Divina Grace, along with Secret Shadow, was behind Night Sparkle at Newbury but is better off at the weights. Greysful Storm may struggle to stay this far but Grand Providence beat a subsequent winner over 2m at Doncaster last month. MISTRESSOFILLUSION (NAP) is a half-sister to Flat and hurdles winner Still Standing so stamina shouldn’t be an issue. She was very impressive over 1m4f at Kempton 10 days ago and is making rapid strides.
