With the bottom three fillies out of the weights proper this may not be as competitive as the numbers suggest and Dominion Rose is taken to supplement her recent Southwell success at the main expense of Amused and Rileys Dream. The selection took advantage off a lenient all-weather mark to win on her reappearance and, under just a 6lb penalty, The top weight Amused ran well behind the impressive Frizzante at Doncaster over six furlongs earlier in the month but may not appreciate the return to further and a bigger threat may come from Mick Channon's Brighton winner Rileys Dream for who excuses can be made for her last two starts. Lady Lenor is inconsistent but capable if in the mood, while Silk St Bridget may do better than of late now that Mark Brisbourne's horses have hit form. However, Dominion Rose has solid claims and gets the vote.
