What A Treasure is on a roll and Luca Cumani's filly must be respected. However this surface may not suit and we will take a chance on handicap debutante Awwal Malika proving good enough. Nashharry can grab a place. The selection took on Finsceal Beo in a Group Two race on her second start but was outclassed. She was then dropped to the minimum trip for next start where she was understandably taken off her feet. This seven furlongs (and further) looks sure to suit better and with jockey-of-the-moment Seb Sanders on board, this daughter of Kingmambo can win off this mark of 70. Nashharry won well last time out at Wolverhampton but had previously been well-beaten behind Blue Bamboo who lines up in opposition again today. The last-named must have claims now returned to the all-weather for her in-form stable. What A Treasure scored well just nine days ago and the likely favourite is an obvious threat if reproducing her last run. This could be tougher though and so we will take her on at the odds and return to Awwal Malika as the selection.
