Windsor winner Simply Breathless can probably be forgiven a subsequent run at Sandown, where she was trapped wide throughout - she does have a win on fast ground on her record. Elysium Dream won a valuable sales race here last year and wasn’t beaten far on her second start of the season at Sandown. Zoraya has been placed the last twice but the handicapper has been reluctant to release his grip and Paul Cole’s filly was almost four lengths behind MESQUITE (NAP) at Chelmsford last month. The latter, progressive on Polytrack, is having her first run on Turf but there is no reason why she shouldn’t take the switch in her stride given her dam won here and at Newbury. Cherubic has a lot more to do than when winning at Brighton but Any Little Rhyme might be improving and Dolcissimo is much respected making her handicap debut off a potentially-lenient mark.
