Support for any of the newcomers should be noted but SAHAFH sets a fair standard and may be good enough to beat the likes of Fly By White and Musharakaat. Our pick ran well on debut when third behind a well-touted rival who had the benefit of a previous run. That was over today's trip and she's expected to have improved for it, so it could well take an above-average newcomer to beat this filly providing she adapts to the surface, which she is expected to do. Richard Hannon's exceptional strike-rate with juveniles means Fly By White needs a check; not only that, her pedigree offers a promising combination of speed and stamina, particularly on the dam's side, and market support would be ominous for the rest. Musharakaat represents connections with a rather less impressive juvenile record but her dam is from a classy family and Ed Dunlop has his runners going well. Dazzling Valentine has shown some ability in two maidens but will be of more interest once handicapped after this run and Daa'iman is bred for the surface but has the worst of the draw so best of the rest could be Slight Advantage, whose yard had a well backed debut winner over the weekend. Market support for anything here should be noted but Sahafh has already shown enough ability to make her hard to beat.
