It's hard to know what to make of Farsakh, who looked in need of experience in a Yarmouth maiden but still gained a very impressive victory. PELERIN landed a Listed contest on Dundalk's Polytrack a year ago and has been performing with credit recently, especially when runner-up to Realtra in a Group 3 at Doncaster last time. Lucky Kristale was behind in that latter event but got no sort of run and is expected to go close this time. Floriss has won two of her last three but takes a leap in class from a Sandown handicap while Pack Together gave notice of an imminent victory at this level when a close third behind Solar Magic at Newmarket.
