Iffraaj filly who stepped up from her debut when easily making all in 7f Yarmouth maiden in April; off since but she holds a clear edge on form and looks impossible to oppose.

J: P J McDonald

T: John & Thady Gosden

Needed her debut outing at Newmarket's Craven meeting in April; made all at Yarmouth (7f) and Newcastle (6f, AW) since; bare form of latest win isn't entirely compelling but she ran to a useful figure the time before; still open to further progress; respected.

Form & Verdict
Only modest in bumpers but he has shown fair form to make the frame twice at Southwell, finishing fourth of 13 in 7f maiden 15 days ago; looks the one to chase Shining Al Danah home.

Only a length away over C&D on his return from 222 days away but no certainty to follow one good run with another, and he finds winning difficult (1-31).

Better effort in 7f maidens when fifth of eight at Redcar 16 days ago; needs another sizeable step forward here, though.
