HANDMAIDEN steps up in trip having found one too good in both starts over 6f at Newmarket. John Gosden’s filly finished in front of three subsequent winners on her latest outing and gets the vote on that form. Mawahib was also placed over 6f when third at Brighton on her debut but Starry Eyes was still beaten a long way when third over 7f at Salisbury on her introduction. Hadhwah is related to winners and a newcomer to note.
