Racing Post verdict
Third-partySIBAZA is fancied to defy her lack of experience on debut. A daughter of Night Of Thunder and half-sister to the useful Simiyna, she is a well-bred sort from a yard capable of landing this sort of race with a newcomer. Mai Dahlia, twice placed already and clearly progressing having franked her course-and-distance debut form with a place last time, looks the obvious danger, while Bofa Beach may need conditions to be kinder than last time out if she is to figure. SIBAZA is the selection.
Racing Post pick: Sibaza
