A Mothers Love showed improved form at Yarmouth last time and has to be respected on that evidence but a 5lb rise since then looks harsh, while Snow Ballerina does not look particularly well treated for her debut in this grade so preference is for Windbeneathmywings. The selection ran better for the return to turf at Bath last month and with the stable of John Hills back among the winners again she looks worth chancing in this company. Michael Bell's Serhaaphim has not progressed as much as may have been anticipated, while Raquel White seems to have regressed and is hard to recommend on recent form. Chip N Pin is less exposed than some of these and has to be respected but more solid claims are held by Windbeneathmywings who is preferred.
