Masquerading finished closer at Doncaster last time and is fitted with a tongue-tie for this. She’s closely matched with Miss Behaving as the latter returns to 6f while both Ratafia and the more exposed As If By Chance drop down from 7f. But none of those with experience inspire confidence and a speculative vote goes the way of the newcomer MAPPA MUNDI, a 52,000gns purchase and half-brother to a couple of winners.
As If By Chance 16-1 (9-5) Held up in 4th, headway into 3rd under 3f out, kept on and took 2nd briefly 1f out, dropped to 3rd inside final furlong, 3rd of 5, 2 1/4l behind Fireworks (9-5) at Beverley 7f stks (4) gf in Aug.
