Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Afraj made a winning debut before shaping with distinct promise at Goodwood despite being a touch keen over a mile — back in trip here with that experience behind her and a leading jockey aboard, the John and Thady Gosden filly is taken to get back to winning ways. Siddal ran a remarkable race at Salisbury but the firmer ground today is a meaningful concern, and Vanilla Skies is a debut runner by Pinatubo from the William Haggas yard who warrants market respect. Afraj is our selection.

Racing Post pick: Afraj
