This doesn't look anywhere near as strong as the first division and plenty will fancy Ghadaayer to get off the mark after a staying-on third behind Pichola Dancer at Kempton. Unzipped made late headway when third over 6f at Chester last month, though neither the winner nor second have franked the form since. Subatomic started favourite on her second start at Chepstow but was again disappointing and a couple of the newcomers make more appeal. There is plenty of stamina in the pedigrees of both Dariga and MORDOREE and we'll take a chance on the latter as her dam has produced winners with all three of her offspring to race.
