Lady Wolf and Chakrii finished 1-2 at Chelmsford last month but neither distinguished themselves subsequently. Abenaki was nothing special on Turf last year and beaten in a match on his all-weather debut while Ignatius was only fifth when favourite here in January and will need to reverse that form with Miss Green Dream. Placed on Tapeta and Fibresand, there may be more to come from Al Daayen now tackling Polytrack but VIN D’HONNEUR, second over 1m4f here on her penultimate start, may be the one to beat.
