The unbeaten Albasharah beat Rhagori at Kempton in October and returns to action off an 8lb higher mark. She has OOJOOBA to beat in this after the latter made her seasonal debut in a Listed contest at Goodwood when beaten only a length by Burke's Rock. Roger Varian's filly looks capable of ending a frustrating losing run in this. Moment In Time destroyed the opposition over a longer trip here a fortnight ago but the handicapper has responded with a 13lb hike in the weights while Oddysey and the out-of-sorts No Poppy try their hand at today's longer distance for the first time today.
