Haitian Spirit finished closer over track and trip last month without threatening the winner while Haze finished a promising fourth over 6f on her debut before struggling over today’s trip at Kempton.

The latter is nothing special on breeding being a half-sister to a winner in Italy but this is a weak contest and Charlie Hills’ filly may well prove good enough.
