It would not be the primary time this twin Group 3 winner has proven up effectively on the high degree. Her staying-on fifth within the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot, on floor that was quicker than very best, reveals she retains loads of capacity.
The one all of us need to beat should be Kevin Ryan’s attractive colt Inisherin, who was sensible within the Commonwealth Cup and is confirmed at Haydock after profitable the Group 2 Sandy Lane again in Could.

Our daughter of Shaman ran effectively right here on debut and duly constructed on that have by profitable a 7½f Ffos Las novice for Josh Bryan final month.

Stamina take a look at ought to swimsuit Menuisier filly
Chasemore Farm’s Waxing Gibbous ought to give me a beautiful journey within the function handicap of the day at Haydock, the Betfair Trade Outdated Borough Cup Handicap (2.25).

In a while, I am anticipating a great run from Alice Haynes’s dependable filly Asteverdi within the first division of the Betfair Podcasts Handicap (4.40). She gained on good to comfortable at Sandown in June and ran effectively in defeat within the Hamilton mud final day out.
Asteverdi appears to have stronger prospects than Star Zinc within the second leg (5.15). I’ve gained on Rebecca Menzies’ five-year-old earlier than, who’s quirky however succesful on his day, however it’s his first run since April and he is but to win in 11 tries on turf.
