Bank Of Gibraltar has never raced over a trip this short and though leading at the furlong pole at Chelmsford a couple of weeks ago that was over 1m2f. Better must have been expected of Sayeuri when she made her debut at Southwell last month as she started favourite but looked very inexperienced and may not have been suited by Fibresand. Zebedee's Girl has been showing very good pace before weakening over shorter trips and, if ridden with more restraint, isn't without a chance while Arcamist ran well on her debut at Chelmsford when unfancied and will have come on markedly for the run. ANDAZ took a while to warm to her task at Kempton three weeks ago but made strong progress to lead at the furlong pole before being outpaced by Cajoled. That was over a mile so today's trip looks ideal and she can go one better.
