The Godolphin horses share top rating on official figures but Kunooz was well beaten on her reappearance and the unbeaten Anjaz hasn't raced since September. The latter makes most appeal of that duo while handicap debutant Zimira finished ahead of Zaina but still well behind Coquet in a Listed race at Goodwood in May. Both Certral and Maven look high enough in the weights at present and a 5lb rise for her recent win at Chester may prevent Fork Handles from following-up. HIPPY HIPPY SHAKE won her maiden in good style on fast ground at Sandown last time having just failed to catch today's rival Popular on the Polytrack on her debut. Those two could end up fighting this one out with preference going to Luca Cumani's more progressive filly.
