Shamiyana had a promising first campaign and should be much better suited by stepping up to this trip though she's faced with some choicely-bred newcomers. Selador cost 115,000gns and is a half-sister to two winners though Aidan O'Brien probably holds the key with three entries. The Galileo filly Cherub is related to five winners and out of a Group 3 winner; Lily Pond is another Galileo and the first foal of a Listed winner; while the third daughter of Galileo, OH SO LOVELY, is a half-sister to the Group 1 winner Mukhadram and other winners so gets the nod.
