Potentate sets the standard here with a handicap mark of 77 having placed in all three starts. But PRINCIPLE EQUATION finished eight lengths clear of the rest when runner-up on her debut at Windsor and she's just preferred. Aragosta also showed promise on her debut but that was over a year ago. She's still preferred to Triple Star and Cape Mystery, however, while the newcomer Laftah is a half-sister to stablemate and Listed winner Ektihaam and is worth noting for any significant support in the betting.
