Verdict

Haziya failed to cope with a big rise in the weights last time having won at Leopardstown earlier. Mobadra is 6lb higher than when scoring at Kempton in November but IMPROVISED is facing a 10lb hike in the future having placed in a Listed race at Musselburgh recently. This extra furlong should bring further progress and David O’Meara’s filly gets the vote even though Danny Tudhope deserts the latter for Godolphin’s White Moonlight, who missed the whole of last year, and is preferred to stablemate and reserve Soft Whisper. The latter beat Spirit Of The Bay a head over track and trip last month while recent winners State Occasion, Isola Rossa and Ffion are all upped in class with Farhh To Shy making more appeal on her success at Doncaster.
