A market check is advised for Luckbealadytonight who cost 100,000euros and is from a yard with a historically good record here. Her dam was a useful sprinter and it would not take too much on debut to be in contention. Waltzing Cat started slowly at Haydock last time and would need to show a much better aptitude for racing to challenge here, but she did start to get the hang of racing late on in the race. Arabella Fenella has Hayley Turner on board again and has shown a small improvement in two starts so far. She should be considered for the frame places but ABTASAAMAH gets the vote to score. She only lost by a head on debut and the form from that race looks solid enough. Saeed Bin Suroor's juveniles are in cracking nick and Abtasaamah can land another win for the Godolphin team.
