Rasima is penalised for an earlier Listed win though this is easier than her latest task in Group 2 company at Newmarket. But SUN MAIDEN (NAP) has the slight advantage on today’s terms and ran well for third behind Lah Ti Dar in a Group 2 at York on her reappearance. Sir Michael Stoute’s filly should be winning at this level this year and gets the vote to confirm latest running with Queen of Time. Exhort has a bit to find at the weights but ran well for second in a Listed contest at Ayr recently and Savaanah is preferred to both Shailene and Daddies Girl on last year’s placed effort in Pattern company.
