In depth

Verdict

A tricky race to get a handle on and maybe Almansoora will provide the answer, with Ahdaaf, Never Away, Saffa Garden and Indiena others to consider. In summary for this race, the well-bred Ahdaaf, the beautifully-bred Godolphin runner Almansoora, Brain Meehan's Indian Ridge newcomer Indiena, the very speedily-bred Never Away and Fokine's half-sister Silent Spring are all newcomers to note in the betting. In fact, the market will probably be your best guide for this race, with those to have run having shown little, although Saffa Garden is probably better than she showed on her debut but, without the benefit of that, we will opt for Almansoora to continue the good record Godolphin have with their juveniles this year.
