The beautifully bred Lakatoi, clearly lacks the ability of her mother and has had plenty of chances, while if Nirvana could get her head in front she would be worth a small fortune, as she is a half-sister to the high class Wellbeing. She does have ability, but she may have to play second fiddle to Blagovest, who turned in his best performance to date when runner-up to the useful Bonecrusher at Salisbury. This step up in trip is expected to bring about further improvement from Roger Charlton's gelding and he can lead the fillies home.
