The ladies line up here and with Godolphin in such good form we'll side with DAREH to get the better of Minute Limit and newcomer Mandhooma. The boys in blue could hardly be in better nick and Dareh returns to the racetrack after a pleasing debut at Folkestone, where she was getting the hang of things towards the end on ground that was plenty soft enough. She can improve for this faster surface and that outing and she looks the one to be on. Minute Limit has had a couple of maiden runs so far and improved from first run to second. She has already got Polytrack experience at Kempton and should be thereabouts. Mandhooma is an interesting John Gosden-trained debutant. The Oasis Dream filly should be suited by this trip and the surface and with the yard going well at present a good run is anticipated. Peter's Gift has a bit of ability but with the stable not red hot at present perhaps we'll have to wait for the future to see him reveal his capabilities, while Chatterszaha did not take to the visor here last time but is not one to dismiss lightly now she can see clearly once more. Even so, Dareh is taken to improve enough to take this.
