      Verdict

      This looks tricky but DOMINO DARLING beat several subsequent winners including the re-opposing Wonderful Tonight when winning in testing ground at Doncaster on last year’s debut. Entered in both the Oaks and the Irish equivalent, the Haggas filly is expected to stay this longer trip. Cabaletta and Shatha also made winning debuts at Yarmouth and Kempton respectively and both beat John Gosden-trained runners. The latter takes on that pair with Franconia, narrowly beaten at Kempton on her introduction, while Oriental Mystique scored at the same track in November. Chamade faded badly on a recent comeback in a Group 3 at Kempton but represents last year’s winning yard and better is expected today.
