Verdict
Salsada was well beaten in this grade when last seen in November and Dhabyah didn’t beat much at Bellewstown at the start of the month. SAYYIDA won on the Rowley Mile here in the spring and followed up over track and trip five weeks ago in the style of an improver. She easily holds Quenelle D'or on that latter run and can complete the three-timer at the expense of another hat-trick seeker Portfolio, who steps up in trip, and Save A Forest. The Oaks fourth gave weight and a beating to Invite at Windsor in April and is better off at the weights than when edged out by Sherbet Lemon in the Lingfield Oaks Trial later. Yesyes is unbeaten and could be anything but this is a big step up in class.
