Hadith had an entry at Newbury yesterday and Quargent’s victory came on Polytrack. The latter also has to overcome a penalty and that’s probably opened the door for SHEIKHA REIKA (NAP), a superbly-bred sister of Cheveley Park winner Lumiere. She was closing down the odds-on Soliloquy on her debut at Ascot and has a Fillies’ Mile entry. Stream Song was an expensive failure at Doncaster last month and needs more while Narodowa may do better in handicaps.
