      Verdict

      The newcomer Sea Theme could go well with the Haggas yard firing in the winners in the past week while soft going may have been a legitimate excuse for Mistral Star’s poor effort at Newbury. Goodwood third Malka is preferred to Cienfuegos but DECORATION (NAP) makes most appeal despite making her seasonal reappearance. She made only a modest debut at Kempton last autumn but an entry in the Irish Oaks suggests big things are expected from the Coolmore-owned filly this year.
