Verdict

Gale Force Maya has enjoyed a productive campaign for Michael Dods, who has placed her so well to land three competitive Class 2 handicaps from six starts. She was also only beaten a couple of lengths on her penultimate start at York behind Flotus in Group company too and commands the utmost respect in this Listed contest. Adaay In Asia could not arrive in better form for the soon-to-be-retired Harry Dunlop after completing a smooth handicap hat-trick at the Shergar Cup recently. She's obviously up in grade but not discounted in her current form. Princess Shabnam enters calculations after a strong effort in Listed grade last time but if CHIL CHIL can recapture the form which saw her finish third in the Group 1 Betfred Sprint Stakes last term, then she's the one to beat despite joint topweight.
