Poetikel Piece was very disappointing on soft going here in October and Sherdil hasn’t been showing much on the all-weather this year. Baileys Liberty showed early promise in her first season before her form tailed off. She was only beaten three lengths at Kempton on her reappearance and is one for the shortlist in a race like this but VADAMIAH has more scope after only three runs and she appears to have her ideal conditions today. Tilly The Filly is only a pound higher than when just beaten at Newcastle in February and is another to consider if handling the going.
