      Verdict

      Inyamazane has placed over shorter trips on a couple of occasions but was still a long way behind the winner at Brighton last time and MASAAKIN is preferred. The latter wasn’t beaten that far when running out of steam in the soft going at Haydock on her debut and finished well ahead of Guipure. Heavens Open shares ownership with the latter and steps up in trip while stablemate Cloudea makes her debut along with Soffika. Sir Michael Stoute’s filly is related to three winners including the useful Dubka and any strong support in the betting could prove significant.
