William Haggas sent out subsequent Group 1 winner Urban Fox to win last year’s renewal and runs his new charge ADORABLE. A Listed winner on soft ground for Mick Channon last season, she may prove good enough in this. Bella Ragazza is 8lb higher on her return having won at Newmarket in October and Daddies Girl has been raised 4lb after scoring at Nottingham on her reappearance. Red Starlight returned a losing favourite in the Spring Cup at Newbury last month though was placed here on a couple of occasions last year but Contrive has shown more of a liking for the all-weather having recorded all four wins so far on artificial surfaces. Labrega went close at Chelmsford on her reappearance and any juice in the ground will suit though she’s upped in class today.
