AWARD SCHEME came out best in a fight to the line with previous winner Arriviste when upped to 1m2f at Salisbury. The Haggas filly is preferred to the more exposed pair Black Lotus and Bollin Joan of those with proven form over the distance. Dawaaween is now 10lb higher than when scoring over a shorter trip at Hamilton last month and Earth And Sky has recorded both wins so far over a mile at Kempton though ran well at Ascot a fortnight ago. Golden Hind looks a threat on her handicap debut if lasting home while pedigree suggests dual novice winner Freyja will appreciate this extra distance on her reappearance.
