Stan Moore's Primera Rossa is likely to find this a lot tougher than the seller that she won at Chepstow earlier this month, especially having been raised 7lbs since then and it is hard to get away from PERSIAN MEMORIES, who gets the vote with Regal Blush rated the best of the rest. The selection is becoming expensive to follow but her form is solid having been placed in each of her last four starts and, racing off the same mark as in each of her last two starts, John Dunlop's filly looks worth siding with to open her account. Vita Mia struggled off her new mark after wins at Folkestone and Chester and she is likely to do so again. Triple Cee remains a maiden, as does the selection, but unlike John Dunlop's filly she has been generally well held in recent starts. Spinning Waters has a bit to find with Vita Mia on running at Folkestone but Eve Johnson Houghton's gelding has claims on form prior to that. Regal Blush has run better since sent handicapping and with Andrew Balding's stable hitting form now she has to be considered but Persian Memories has an obvious chance and she looks the one to beat.
