Verdict

SAJJHAA got her career back on track at Bath and she can take this step up in her stride. Michael Jarvis' daughter of King's Best won well last month and it might be that this mile trip will be her optimum, having taken time to get over her flop in the Oaks in June. Long Lashes ran well behind Seta when fitted with cheek-pieces, however a bigger danger might be Fontley now she is dropped back to a mile. Dance East seemed to be progressing well before flopping at Bath behind Sajjhaa, I'm A Dreamer, for last-year's winning trainer David Simcock, looks on the upgrade and Johnny Murtagh looks an eye-catching jockey booking, whilst of the rest of the aspiring handicappers it is Forest Crown who makes most appeal.
