Shaaqaaf probably had little to beat at Goodwood and is 6lb worse off than when beaten by Mittens over 7f on Polytrack last year. But she’d shown improved form when just touched off here in May and looks the more progressive. STELLAR SURPRISE was only beaten half-a-length on her reappearance at Sandown, however, and looks a threat to all as she’ll handle any give in the ground. Pavillon has solid all-weather form but will nee to improve again for the switch to Turf. Shenanigans also has a bit to find while Little Lady Katie faces a stiff task giving weight to the three-year-old.
