In depth
Verdict
Depending on your approach, EL HADEEYAH is either the most exposed or most reliable in this field. She's performed with real credit at Newmarket and Ascot, however, with the form of the former race having been already boosted by the winner. There are some interesting newcomers in opposition on paper of which Riviere, a daughter of Acclamation out of a Dubawi mare, makes most appeal alongside Richard Fahey's No Nay Nicki, by a sire who continues to do very well. Bloomington Bride and Zwift are others to note.
