We'll take a chance on newcomer SAHAFH ahead of Royal Liaison, Feather Falls and Celebrity. A $475,000 purchase, this Godolphin filly is a half-sister to many winners over in America. It looks indicative of her chance that Frankie Dettori comes up to the track to ride her after riding at York during the afternoon. Feather Falls was a cheaper purchase but again she comes from a successful US family and is respected, along with Celebrity who is bred to be smart although perhaps over an extra furlong. Of those to have raced Mawjoodah and Royal Liaison stand out. The former was only beaten by three lengths in the Hilary Needler at Beverley and she should be wiser today, whilst Michael Bell's filly shaped well in a Newmarket maiden before getting tired and it would be no surprise to see her step up on that effort. Tarantella Lady and So Belle have a little to find so are taken on but not discounted as we give the vote of confidence to Sahafh.
