Verdict

Kempton winner CRESSIDA failed to settle at Newmarket on her return to action and is fitted with a hood for this. She was no match for the winner Althiqa last time but the latter went close in Listed company subsequently and the Gosden filly gets another chance. Afraid Of Nothing ran well in this grade at Kempton last time and has a shout while Breath Of Joy won an easier contest at Haydock but is not out of this either. Al Dawodiya was beaten only a neck at Headquarters recently and looks more favourably handicapped than Lethal Talent.
