In depth
Verdict
The headstrong IHTIFAL attempted to make all over 6f here last time only to be caught close home. Today's drop back to the minimum trip is the obvious move and she may well hang on for victory this time if similar tactics are employed. Ajjaadd finished ahead of Move In Time and Moorhouse Lad at Doncaster last time and beat Le Toreador in soft ground earlier but recent Wolverhampton winner Whozthecat makes more appeal on this surface. Harrison George went close over 7f here on his latest start while Island Legend has done all his winning over today's trip and may reverse recent running with Clear Praise.
