Godolphin had the winner of this 12 months ago but Snow Squall was soon beaten off today's mark at Thirsk and looks vulnerable again while Istimraar hasn't really progressed from a debut third at Leicester. Boadicee won on debut on soft ground at the latter track, however, and should stay the extra while Pyjama Day only found one too good on her first try over 7f at Lingfield having won over 5f on the Polytrack. GENDER AGENDA quickened smartly to get off the mark at Goodwood under apprentice Louis Steward and a repeat may be on the cards here off a 6lb higher mark as she's already shown a decent level of form in better company.
