Verdict

RAGSAH had Sharnberry and Sweet Cecily behind when fourth in the Group One Cheveley Park Stakes here and is taken to confirm that form. With a rating of 100, Godolphin's filly is officially the best horse in the race on what we've seen and while she was outclassed last time she rates the pick dropped in grade. She was a long way behind Sweet Cecily on debut but that rival had the benefit of a run and Ragsah has since improved. That's not to discount Richard Hannon's charge as the trainer has landed two of the last seven renewals of this and she has a decent turn of foot, although it wouldn't be a total surprise were Sharnberry to improve past her as she's well-regarded and very much unexposed. Maiden Question Times is clearly thought capable and is perhaps the one most likely to cause an upset now dropped in trip.
