Verdict

A’shaari made a winning start over 7f on the July course here last year. She’s one of several with fancy entries including Taslima, whose yard has a good record in this contest, but SEA KARATS is evidently held in some regard. She was beaten less than a length over today’s trip at Newbury last month despite failing to get a clear run and the Haggas filly gets another chance in this. Lady Hayes and Alba Rose step up in trip on their return to action but the fast ground is a worry for Mystery Angel.
