Abbey Road has been found a good opportunity to open her account. Durova and Sister Etienne are forwarded as the main dangers from the rest. Sister Etienne improved from her debut to finish a good third here earlier in the month. This daughter of Lend A Hand can make the rest aware of her presence. Durova missed that race to take her chance in a better race at Chester last week. She was far from disgraced in defeat and looks capable of exploiting any holes in the selection's game plan. However, Abbey Road edges preference on this occasion. Her debut run was given a solid boost at Lingfield on Thursday and, as she holds an entry in an Irish Group 1, she may well prove to be a step ahead of this lot; even though the daughter of Danehill does need to find more improvement though and needs to go a long way to start justifying her $210,000 purchase price.
