      Verdict

      A half-sister to Derby hero Masar, SAYYIDA opened her account when upped to 1m4f on the Rowley Mile here last month. There should plenty more to come over today’s trip and the Godolphin filly is preferred to Franklet as both go handicapping for the first time. The latter won at Salisbury recently while Quenelle D'or landed a handicap at Goodwood with End Result back in third. By Starlight also scored at Goodwood last time while Something Enticing is upped in distance but Almareekh will be sharper for a recent comeback.
