Global Passion was beaten in a handicap last time and is penalised for an earlier success in novice company. Soumei never threatened on his recent debut but will have benefited from the experience and improvement is also expected from Hedonism. But HAYLAH looks best as Richard Hannon’s filly was beaten less than a length in a tight finish at Lingfield on her reappearance and handicap debut and should make another bold bid back in novice company.
