Newmarch could be anything after making a winning start at Lingfield. Pamushana easily won her maiden at Carlisle last month and Demonstration is improving with experience while Sikandar scored over course and distance last month, though is 8lb higher. This may be too far for Sirheed, however, while Sir Chauvelin has been racing over longer trips. Lady Cecil boasts a good strike-rate here so Recently Acquired shouldn't be ignored but we're loathe to desert the still-improving MALEFICENT QUEEN. She has her first run since May but connections will have welcomed recent rain and she should have more to offer. Goodnightsuzy may be best of the rest.
