ALOBAYYAH is still unexposed and couldn't have shaped much better granted her disadvantageous track position over C&D last time. She's fancied to reverse form with the pair that finished ahead of her and take this competitive event. Miss Nightfall ran well at this meeting last season and is very interesting with the benefit of a positive draw, whilst top-weight Stateira is also appealing reverting to handicap company after a fine effort in a Group 2 last time.
