RAWDAA is penalised for winning at Newmarket on her latest start but Sir Michael Stoute’s filly beat a previous winner over three lengths and should have the measure of today’s opposition on that form. Timespan has placed in both starts so far but was still beaten seven lengths when runner-up at Ripon and the newcomer Azalia will need to be above average to beat the likely favourite on her racecourse debut.
