KHATWAH has won both outings since stepping up to 7f. She beat the re-opposing Eyes with something to spare over course a distance last time and may still be ahead of the handicapper. Stablemate Eponina remains 7lb higher than when last successful while Exuding attempts today’s trip for the first time having finished in front of Porterinthejungle when runner-up over 6f here. Light Of Thunder may improve on her second start for new connections with her new yard in good form.
