    Verdict

    ALTHIQA is just preferred to Cressida as the Godolphin filly only had to be pushed out to score on debut at Thirsk just over a year ago and the form of that race has worked out remarkably well with the next six home all successful since. Cressida won over 7f at Kempton last July, despite running green, so there should be plenty more to come and John Gosden also runs the newcomer Spiritus Sanctus, who is a sister to four winners so should win races though may lack the experience today.
