Parikarma is likely to improve on her fourth at Lingfield and goes on the shortlist. Paddy Brennan had to be at his strongest to get Hidden Beauty home at Doncaster in front of Passing Reflection but she can confirm that form with the runner-up even though a conditional takes over the reins. FAERIE CUTLASS made mistakes and ran in snatches here just over four weeks ago but that will have taught her plenty and she may be a bit of value today.
