Under The Twilight won over 6f here last month but this extra distance is no problem. Abbadia landed a maiden at Beverley last week while Gwendolina, the handicap debutante Another Thought, and TIGER BAY have all won on the Polytrack. The latter made her subsequent handicap debut in a higher grade at Goodwood when the mile trip stretched her stamina so Henry Candy’s filly gets another chance in this.
