Mickael Barzalona journeys north primarily to partner SALACIA and it will be a major surprise if he doesn't return with a victory on this promising Godolphin filly. Runner-up to Oaks-bound The Fugue on the second of two juvenile runs, she shaped nicely on reappearance in a hot-looking Newmarket maiden when filling the minor placing, form that rates way in advance of anything else on display here. Anychanceofabirdie is the second unraced three-year-old on the card for the Simcock team and could be interesting whilst Come Here Yew looked promising on an number of occasions last term. His yard has already landed a couple of northern maiden contests this term and he looks the likeliest beneficiary should the favourite not produce her form for any reason.
