Verdict

Three-year-olds have held sway in this for the last nine years including the returning Kiyoshi last term but stablemate and recent York Listed winner Fadhayyil makes more appeal. Mistrusting and Muffri'Ha have been winning handicaps with the former closely matched with Dusky Queen but REALTRA picked-up a Listed event at Haydock last month having won over track and trip on her seasonal debut back in May. Roger Varian's filly is taken to confirm running with both Bella Nostalgia and Pelerin and is preferred to the penalised Majestic Queen. The latter beat Kiyoshi to win a Group 3 at Lingfield earlier this year and Lucky Kristale finally returned to winning ways when scoring over 6f at York last week. The French-trained filly Penmaen won a Listed contest in Germany last time and could go well representing John Hammond.
