MARTLET was outclassed in a Listed race at Newbury last time and this looks more her level having won a maiden race over track and trip in April. John Gosden's filly is preferred to Talawat, who now goes handicapping after picking-up a race at Wolverhampton and is preferred to the more exposed pair Music And Dance and Bitter Lake. Boonga Roogeta beat Taaqah over track and trip in June with Bint Dandy further behind but Taaqah may well come out best on today's revised terms.
