A Group 2 winner in her native South Africa, Cold As Ice makes her debut for the Haggas yard and we will have a better idea of how good she is after this. Kyllachy Queen is another newcomer to these shores having won a Listed race in Italy while stablemate Alfajer has a couple of lengths to find with LAMAR. The latter won a Listed race at Lingfield last month where she also beat Invoke and James Tate's filly looks to have leading claims on that form. The remainder are seemingly up against it on these terms with Maggie Pink perhaps proving best of them.
