Daylight

2.25 Newmarket

Babouche and Lake Victoria are both 3-3 and boast comfortably the best form in the Juddmonte Cheveley Park Stakes as things stand.

However, I don't think we got to see the best of French raider Daylight when she took on the boys in the Prix Morny last time and on this ground she might well hold all the aces.

Unlike the market leaders, she has plenty of soft-ground experience, and she didn't get the run of the race when third behind Whistlejacket and Rashabar in the Morny as she had to wait an age for a run. Mickael Barzalona couldn't manage to take his hands off the reins and use his whip until less than 100 yards from the line.

She'd still have something to find even if she'd finished alongside Whistlejacket, who was second to Babouche in the Phoenix. However, both her sire and dam relished bad ground and she certainly handles it, and we don't know that about Babouche or Lake Victoria.
