Verdict
AL MAHMEYAH stepped up on her debut effort at Doncaster when finishing second to the well-backed Mahkama at Kempton earlier this month. Slowly away that day, she stayed on well inside the final furlong and can get off the mark in this. The danger may be Willie Haggas' newcomer Ashbina, who is a half-sister to the useful Misdaqeya, though both Pitti Sing and Tamima will almost certainly improve on modest debut runs. Ave Sofia was beaten in a seller last time and lacks the scope of many of her rivals.
