There is little between those with a handicap mark on these terms. Rasasee was placed in a handicap at Haydock last time while Pleasure Dome and Satish made the frame in maiden contests on their respective latest starts. The latter is the least exposed and preferred of that trio but FASHION DESIGN makes more appeal. Sir Michael Stoute’s filly was not beaten far when fourth at Newbury and the Coolmore-owned filly looks sure to appreciate this longer trip.
