Verdict

Zephina was beaten a length at Haydock last time but has had plenty of chances and it would be no surprise if LIFTOFF improved enough to take this. The Gosdens’ filly failed to threaten at Doncaster when running green but this extra distance will suit the €320,000 purchase. Cloudbreaker is related to a couple of Listed winners and is preferred to Sparkling Beauty while Elterwater is a sister to a Listed winner in Australia and a half-sister to three others.
