Verdict

Blue Savannah could be anything after a fair debut win and a mark of 60 could be lenient, however Al Rayanah shaped as if she was coming back to form over this course and distance recently and gets the vote today. Saleem Golam gets on well with this horse, having ridden her to a third, two seconds and a win from five rides on her. Her run last time was fair form in the context of this race and she should run a big race. Blue Savannah won well on debut at Southwell; the leaders went off very quickly on that occasion which may have played into her hands but she should still be rated a big danger on her turf debut. Circadian Rhythm is one to watch in the betting, whilst Gee Ceffyl Bach looks well-handicapped if getting it all together. Josephine Malines won a seller last time and needs to improve on the bare form of that run if she is to defy top-weight, and so we will return to Al Rayanah as the selection.
