Brighton winner Jawaayiz is partnered by an apprentice today but Shufoog sports her owners first colours ahead of both the former and Qamarain having won at Epsom last month. Entsar and Kullu are recent maiden winners with the latter stepping up in trip along with Alyday, who also drops down a couple of grades. Inke and Bocking End are others with a shout back at this level but it will take a bit of BLIND FAITH to risk an investment in such an open contest and Luca Cumani’s aptly-named filly may be the answer. She ran her best race so far over today’s trip at Sandown in August and gets a speculative vote to come out best.
