Miss Topsy Turvy has shown nothing so far but the remainder all won their latest starts. Istishaara, Fly By White and Reem Star ended last season with victories in maiden company and it remains to be seen what they're capable of in handicaps, while Apache Glory steps up in trip for her turf debut after a couple of wins on the Polytrack. Amistress is also chasing hat-trick after landing a double at Nottingham but this is her toughest task to date and SACRED SHIELD is preferred. Henry Cecil's filly landed the odds in a modest maiden at Wolverhampton last month and can go on to better things now she's off the mark.
