None have raced over this far before but Eyes showed a big improvement when going close stepped up to a mile at Wolverhampton and can confirm running with Lanika. Ghostly finished ahead of Livia The Empress when runner-up at Leicester while Mister Allegro and stablemate Ubari have middle-distance pedigrees. But so does VARENNA STORM and with a couple of outings over 7f under her belt, Richard Hannon’s filly gets a speculative vote over today’s trip.
