Race preview
CATHAYENSIS took a big step forward on turf when running out an impressive winner at Haydock on Thursday in an apprentice contest, which means she escapes a penalty for that success. With that in mind, she makes plenty of appeal and a repeat of that performance would make her very hard to beat. Graces Quest is respected after her Musselburgh success, while Royal Countess, whose best form comes at this track, and Golden Vintage appeal most of the remainder.
