This fascinating maiden could fall to La Spezia, with Tonnante and Wishing On A Star put forward as the likely dangers. Michael Bell's juveniles tend to need a couple of runs to hit peak form and La Spezia could be ready to strike. She wasn't beaten far by the Michael stoute trainder Lost In Wonder last time and can go one better in this company. Tonnante showed plenty of promise on her Lingfield debut behind I'm Right. She will get a lot further in time but could still be involved in the finish this afternoon. Wishing On A Star is from a yard that has a good line to juvenile form and her recent fourth behind Golden Dagger at Newmarket was a good effort and she warrants plenty of respect. Lady Grey Bear could prove the best of the rest, but La Spezia has the strongest form on show and she is taken to land the spoils.
