Hamley is on a roll and Peter Fahey’s raider has a good chance of completing her hat-trick on her first run in the UK. Broderie and Asoof both sport the Godolphin colours and are short-list material. Charlie Appleby’s filly is the least exposed of the pair and having only her second run in a handicap but Asoof beat Gumriyah and ESCAPE THE CITY at Nottingham in August, though it’s the latter who looks the pick of the weights today. The bottom weight has since run well at Beverley and over 1m1f here and might be on an upward curve. Rawdaa needs to up her game but has only run four times and has yet to finish out of the first two. Dynamic won a Listed race in France over this trip last time but may struggle to give weight to younger rivals.
