In depth

Verdict

Childesplay's run behind Evita Peron at Newbury in April was an excellent first effort but she hasn't been seen since and preference is for BETTER CHANCE. The Godolphin filly couldn't match the finishing speed of Pageant Belle at Doncaster on her introduction but the drop back in distance should help and she'll know more today. Gharaaneej ran green and never figured on debut at Newmarket but will have learned plenty and the fillies are less exposed than Half Way, who has already had three runs in handicaps.
