THE Marco Botti-trained

Aljazzi began her campaign with a respectable third behind Addeybb in the Group 2 bet365 Mile at Sandown, an effort that saw her finish ahead of Group 1 scorers Robin Of Navan and Here Comes When.

Sent off a 9-2 chance behind the Aidan O’brien-trained Hydrangea at Ascot, the fiveyear-old was held up towards the back before making her move inside the final furlong. A three and three-quarter lengths separated her from Tribute Act, while the favourite finished down the field in eighth.
