Verdict

IHTIRAAM is Dettori's only scheduled mount and she is certain to improve on her debut success at Yarmouth in the autumn when relatively unfancied. The Godolphin filly only won by a neck that day but looked to have plenty in the locker and could easily go on to better things. Jumeirah Palm Star won her maiden over C&D in March but Richard Hughes prefers Beach Candy, who won at Ffos Las and Windsor, last year and she could be more forward than fellow returnees Ziefhd and Arctic Stryker. Incendiary and Lionrock have both won over C&D this year but may find a few of these too good at the weights.
