Verdict
Byroness improved for the step up to a mile and won at this track a fortnight ago. But this return to 7f doesn't look ideal for her and may suit AL GHARRAFA better. The latter finished third on her handicap debut over 6f here with a subsequent winner behind and should stay the extra. Fire Fairy, Prom Dress and Club Electra have similar modest form in maidens and Seraphima looks superior on her best efforts of last year, although she proved disappointing on her comeback at Wolverhampton in December. Tiger's Home is harder to fancy.
