In depth

Verdict

DOHA’s debut third at Kempton, beaten less than a length, is the stand-out form in this fillies’ maiden and she’ll take all the beating here if handling this much more testing surface. Spring Chorus offered some encouragement when fourth at Pontefract and, likewise, Queen Of The Pride at Newmarket last month. Safety Catch didn’t appear to handle soft going on her sole start last autumn and has been absent since.
