AFRAID OF NOTHING should make in third-time lucky in this, though won’t be much of a price. The Qatar Racing filly ran green when fancied on her debut at Newbury but looked more the finished article when running Freyja to a head over an extended 7f at Beverley. Buto looks the one for forecast-backers as he was just behind a subsequent winner when an eye-catcher at Chepstow and will know more today. The remainder have a lot to prove on the evidence so far.
