In depth

Verdict

Enlace has been raised 8lb for a narrow-margin win at Goodwood and Gentlemusic has gone up the same amount after scoring over track and trip. Khatiba should be spot on now having turned in a couple of modest efforts so far this season but BINT DANDY (NAP) is preferred. She finished ahead of Subtle Knife when third at York last month and has already won twice over course and distance this year. Taaqah is one to keep an eye on after fading badly on her reappearance as she ran well in Group 3 at Newmarket in October.
