Dubara only beat Panova by a neck at Goodwood and is a pound worse off. Blending has started favourite in three of her five starts but has only been won once and hasn’t raced since May. Indian Blessing has her sights lowered but Soul Silver looks held by SHENANIGANS on Goodwood running last month. Roger Varian’s filly comfortably beat a good yardstick and subsequent winner at the Sussex track so a 9lb rise is probably justified.
