PLAY SMARTER

HEREDIA went a bit quiet after completing a 4-timer in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot last summer, but she looked back to her best when runner-up to subsequent Group 2 winner Azure Blue in a listed race at Newmarket on return and this looks a good opportunity for her to resume winning ways White Moonlight wasn’t beaten far in a Group 2 in Dubai early this year and rates the main threat on that form, with Fast Response best of the others

We advise that you pre-book your taxi for after racing. The taxi rank is on Linkfield Road outside the racecourse
