Only four runners face the starter in this but all have shown some ability. Astrosapphire is the most exposed but has gone close on several occasions while Enaitch was last seen in the Oaks Trial at Lingfield having finished third at Chepstow on her reappearance. Silk Train was doing her best work at the finish over 1m4f at Newmarket and will relish the extra but BAIHAS, the only colt in the field, showed enough when only beaten a short-head by Silk Train's stable companion Deira Phantom at Salisbury to suggest he can go one better today.
Baihas 2-1fav (9-5) Held up in rear, steady headway over 3f out, ridden and chased leading pair over 1f out, just pushed along and went 2nd final 100 yards, pressed winner to line, just failed, 2nd of 5, shd behind Deira Phantom (9-5) at Salisbury 1m 4f 3yo mdn (5) gf in May.
