In depth
Verdict
BABINDI (NAP) was beaten only a length at Newmarket on her handicap debut. A half-sister to middle-distance winners, the Haggas filly can go one better back in novice company. Barn Owl also steps up in trip having undergone wind surgery while Harlem Soul races on fast going for the first time on his reappearance. The newcomer Oscillates is related to a Group 2 winner but will need to be above average to come out best.
