ARIENA looks to have the best form having placed in both starts on fast ground so far. She finished ahead of a subsequent winner when runner-up at Newbury last time and Clive Cox’ filly is preferred to Joyful Dream of those with experience given Megan Lily has gone backwards since finishing second on her debut. Quick Artist is related to a winning sprinter and is a newcomer to note along with Billesdon Bess.
