Al Sailiyah may well improve now handicapping for the first time but has yet to threaten in maidens and the same comment applies to The Special One. DOMINANCE won her maiden at Chelmsford in March and made her handicap bow in a tougher contest than this on the all-weather when behind a couple of subsequent winners. She gets another chance given Rae Guest’s filly has the beating of recent runner-up Just Glamorous on collateral form and Sir Theodore’s earlier win came over 6f in heavy ground.
