This Listed contest has a short history but there have already been several shock results and any number of these are capable of stepping up on what they've shown so far. The Govaness beat last year's winner Legacy Gold at Cheltenham in November and got the better of No Pushover at Towcester earlier but has to give weight to all of her rivals. TARA MIST had Avispa behind when runner-up to Gaillimh A Chroi at Sandown and has to go on the short-list as most of her form is working out well. Hannah's Princess and Miss Sassypants are both unbeaten while Amberkatann and Plum Stone have won their only start. Lady Buttons may be the pick of the four-year-olds having easily beaten Millicent Silver at Wetherby, though she was well beaten at Cheltenham in this grade earlier.
