In depth

Verdict

Kahara gets weight all round, and that can prove decisive against the likes of Mister Right, Prince Sabaah and Bergonzi to name but a few. Kahara has had one or two small problems that resulted in her belated return to the racecourse at Newbury three weeks ago. She could have been forgiven for needing the run, but Luca Cumani's filly came with a steady run in the straight to open her account, and with a further step up in trip to suit, she can continue to make up for lost time. A full-sister to the Leger winner Milan, she may prove up to Listed class at least in time, although the one slight worry here is the fast ground. Other than that, she makes most appeal. Mister Right bounced back to form at Newbury eight-days ago, but he always goes well there, and now faces a step up in grade. Prince Sabaah found 14-furlongs too far at Nottingham last time, and this drop back in trip could see him involved in the shake-up, while Bergonzi will at least appreciate the faster ground and hails from an in-form yard. Penang Cinta and Inchinata are no back numbers on their day either, but preference is for Kahara.
