    Verdict

    Haykal is preferred to stablemate Golden Bugle having won over today’s trip at Wolverhampton. But she’s conceding weight to MELLOW MAGIC, placed in both outings to date including when second at Salisbury last time to Oman, rated 88. That looks strong enough form to go close in this. Charlie Appleby runs two with Nottingham runner-up Sayyida returning to action and New Exceed placing at Wolverhampton on a couple of occasions early in the year. Moonlit Night has yet to threaten and steps up in distance as she debuts on the Turf.
