MASKADA showed enough promise when third at Huntingdon on last month’s debut to suggest she’ll be winning soon. The winner has subsequently gone in again and Stuart Edmunds’ filly gets the vote on that form. One of the newcomers will likely pose the biggest threat with Belle De Manech, a half-sister to winners on the Flat in France, preferred to stablemate Coquelicot while Nearly Perfection and Indy System are others to note.
