Verdict

Ihtifal has done nothing wrong in her two Polytrack starts but is likely to be a warm order against some unexposed types and newcomers. Baheeja is in the former category and ended the last campaign with a good run at Yarmouth. She can do better this season and should be in the shake-up but FAIREST has the look of a quality filly about her and is handed the vote on her debut. Highclere Racing own the daughter of Elusive Quality who is a half-sister to a winner in the USA and out of a mare who won in that country. Frankie's presence in the saddle is a bonus and they can see off threats from Quality Pearl and Rose Madder though the latter would be of interest if attracting support.
