The beautifully-bred Madaeh can follow up her Lingfield success. From the same family as the likes of Elnadim, Mehtaaf and Khulood, John Dunlop's filly improved from her debut to win in good style and looks as though she has been found a good opportunity. Douglas stepped up on his debut to land a decent seller at Newmarket and might be capable of better yet, while Pink Sapphire scrambled home in a run-of-the-mill maiden at Warwick last time. Darn Good is probably better at this trip than shorter and ought to be improving, and a repeat of Kalani Girl's third in a good race at The Curragh would see her in with a chance. The bottom two in the weights have to step up on what they have achieved so far to trouble the selection, Madaeh.
