The trio with experience have all shown useful form and will win races. Handmaiden looked a certain future winner when runner-up in her first two at Newmarket but fingers were burnt when she was beaten at odds-on at Chelmsford. Gleeful has had two all-weather starts and may not have been suited by Tapeta at Newcastle after a promising debut at Kempton. NASHIRAH has twice led for a long way over 7f, including at Newmarket last time where she only faded close home. She can get off the mark though there are some nicely-bred newcomers to note. Fabiolla is one of three Roger Varian entries and the daughter of New Approach is the first foal of a 6f Group 3 winner so she should have plenty of pace as should Graceful, who is a half-sister to eight winners including L'Abbaye winner Gilt Edge Girl and the smart sprinter Godfrey Street.
