CARTIER was by no means disgraced when sixth at Newbury last time. She is now only a pound higher than when just beaten a length in a fairly competitive handicap at Newmarket previously and it's significant that she gets a couple of pounds from cosy Wetherby maiden winner Zaaneh. Faddwa could be anything after making a winning debut over course and distance last month but the handicapper has taken no chances. Light And Shade continues to run well but Teosroyal looks up against it despite the big drop in class.
