The ability of FIDAAWY to handle soft ground has to be taken on trust but he has the best form on offer. He was placed behind stablemate El Hayem over a mile at Newmarket last time and Sir Michael Stoute has won with four of his last five runners at the track. Organza posted her best effort so far when placed at Chester but Hilary J steps up in distance after making the frame over 7f at Redcar. Never Give In ran well at Newbury in between a couple of distinctly modest efforts but the remainder are harder to fancy.
