Verdict
Those with experience look nothing out of the ordinary with both Elas Ruby and The Lacemaker failing to show any progress on their latest starts. Of the newcomers, Paul Hanagan prefers NESHMEYA to Talaayeb and Charlie Hills’ half-sister to a Listed winner is entered in next month’s Group 1 Fillies’ Mile. Stablemate Forever Excel is related to four winners while Meshaykh cost 160,000 euros at the sales earlier this year. Blue Illusion and Smart Together are others to consider especially if the betting speaks in their favour.
