Pedigree suggests that SAJJHAA is potentially a smart sort, and we will give the Michael Jarvis-trained filly the vote ahead of Weathervane and Budding Daffodil. The only one of that trio with racecourse experience is Weathervane, and we will have some sort of pointer to his chance because his Chepstow conqueror Hayzoom runs in the 7.25 on tonight's card. Without that knowledge it seems reasonable to assume that the Gosden inmate can improve for his first run and should get closely involved. Budding Daffodil represents a stable going well and is a half-sister to a 10f winner at three, while her dam was a multiple scorer from 1m up to 1m 6f, and so it will be very interesting to see what the market tells us about her chance first time. Dance Tempo is related to both sprinters and middle distance winners, and given the trip for this introduction, perhaps Hughie Morrison's runner has been showing more stamina than speed at home, and he is another worthy of a market check. Saggiatore should come on for her reappearance but looks vulnerable, and we will turn to Sajjhaa. The King's Best filly is out of a mare who won first time out over this trip, and she is very likely to get much further than this in time. For today, however, we will take that pedigree as a big positive, and with her fitness unlikely to be an issue we will give her the vote.
