Fanzine was placed three times for Hughie Morrison in the UK but is fitted with a hood on her first start for a new yard after three months off. On balance, TAALUF looks a safer proposition. She has improved a little since stepping up in trip and a race like this should be within her capabilities. Nidhaam has shown promise and her half-sister won over 1m1f so the step up from 1m shouldn't be a problem. She can't be ignored and is much preferred to Jane Foley's debutante Quick Glance.
