ALHAKMAH was taken off his feet in the early stages at Goodwood at the start of the month but she was making up ground hand over fist inside the final furlong and would have won in another couple of strides. Few will want to oppose the No Nay Never filly in this as she appears to have the beating of Yourtimeisnow, Munaajaat and Isabella Red who were all behind. Andrew Balding’s two-year-olds are going well but this may be on the short side for newcomer Stay Forever. Heritage is worth a market check, however, as first-season sire Garswood has already produced a Group 3 winner in France.
