Though making her reappearance, there will be plenty of interest in YELLOWHAMMER in this finale as Roger Charlton’s Raven’s Pass filly beat a subsequent winner on the Rowley Mile here in the autumn with plenty in hand and is a lot less exposed than her rivals. Pastime won twice on Tapeta last month and didn’t fare badly reverting to the Turf at Ascot last time. Titan Goddess and Bint Dandy are both capable if in the mood but Artscape tries a new trip.
