Itnab can prove the answer to this fillies' only Listed race, with the likes of Rich Affair and White Rose likely to be involved in the finish as well. Itnab is a daughter of Midway Lady who would really prefer conditions a bit easier, but the watered ground might just see her add to her victory gained here on King George day. Having been found wanting for a turn of foot over a mile at Sandown previously, it was a different story over the 10 furlongs as she clocked a good time. Connections rate her good enough to warrant Group entries, and with another couple of furlongs to travel here, she should justify their faith in taking this Listed event before being aimed higher. Rich Affair, a full-sister to Whitewater Affair, appreciated the drop in class from contesting the Lancashire Oaks when making all at Yarmouth and will help force a good pace if similar tactics are adopted, while ex-German White Rose comes a stable in form and is interesting on her British debut. She has taken on good company but is another who would prefer more give. Take Itnab to gain her third victory of the season.
