In depth
Verdict
HOODWINKER strayed from a straight line in the heavy going at Haydock on her reappearance. She still finished a creditable second and this faster ground can see the Haggas filly go one better. Achelois is upped in trip after winning a novices race at Newbury while Celestial Queen had been in good form before her rider was injured and she was pulled-up at Leicester. Fairy Cakes earlier success at Goodwood came over 1m2f while Sayifyouwill is upped in class after going close on the all-weather.
