Only beaten a neck by Belle Fourche here last month, Cherish chased home the well-backed Abbey Heights subsequently with Zim Baby only fifth. She’s in good form and will be hard to keep out of the frame again but the drop back to 6f didn’t faze SHINING AL DANAH last time at Newcastle and the front-running Gosdens’ filly can complete the hat-trick on her first venture into handicap company, despite a less-than-ideal draw. Dora Penny is no slouch and also still unexposed on this surface.
