Swanton Blue finished runner-up in a handicap last time but has to give weight under today's conditions to STAINTONDALE LASS. The latter wasn't beaten far over today's trip at Kempton on her debut and is also preferred to Arizona Sunrise, who drops in class for a yard struggling for winners of late. Daydream showed a glimpse of promise here on her introduction when staying on after a slow start but the remainder are harder to fancy on what little they have shown to date.
