Verdict
Critical Time had been progressing nicely on Turf before opening her account at Newcastle last month. She steps up a grade here but shouldn’t be far away if handling the surface. Beauty Of Deira is even less exposed while I'lletyougonow found only one too good on soft going here last week. Saikung has already won twice this year, once on soft, and Be More boasts a similar record. There are two older fillies and Maggies Angel won at Musselburgh last month but HERE’S TWO is the only one of these to have won on heavy going and she again showed her liking for the mud at Lingfield in May. Now 8lb lower, Ron Hodges’ mare could spring an upset off bottom weight with William Cox’ claim a further plus.
