YARROW (NAP) found only Fabricate too good at Salisbury on her return to action and the latter went on to land a handicap. The Stoute filly gets the vote on that form in a competitive maiden. Stubbins went close at Beverley three weeks ago with Azyaan back in third and can figure. She is preferred to stablemate Blue Chip while Julieta is another to consider stepping up in trip on the back of a debut at Ascot. Western Bella and Darkan are harder to fancy making their seasonal debuts in this company.
