MAQAASID's defeat in the Lowther raised some doubts about her stamina but she's taken to dispel them by returning to winning ways here, gaining revenge on three horses who finished ahead of her that day in Rimth, Margot Did and Hooray. John Gosden is enjoying a fine end to the season and his Queen Mary winner is free of the penalty that she had to carry at York. That day she was lit up by a bump early on trapped wide throughout so it was little surprise to see her fade into fourth. Providing she's found some cover here we expect a big run as the dam's side of the pedigree suggests she should have no problem with the trip. Lowther winner Hooray rates the benchmark and did well to score at Kempton from a wide draw but her speed may be blunted slightly by the ground while Margot Did really should've done better at Salisbury and has become frustrating. Khor Sheed is a course and distance winner who showed last time that she's talented enough to feature and is rated a threat ahead of Ragsah and Wild Wind, while it's unlikely that we've seen the best of Lingfield maiden winner Sharnberry.
