Star Of Doha wasn’t beaten that far when only sixth at Kempton in November with Fleur Forsyte behind. Ouja will be expected to finish closer for the Gosden yard having made only a modest debut at Doncaster last year while Trilliant and Donna Finchella are others likely to improve. But one of the newcomers will not need to be anything out of the ordinary to make a winning start and LUPIN may prove good enough. Sir Michael Stoute's filly is a half-sister to a couple of winners and preferred to Lightening Dance.
