Barry Hills has a fine record in this race and comes here in search of the proverbial hat-trick, however Gulf Stream Lady needs to improve and so we will return to Erlydors as the selection with Lindelaan and Mazloma rated as dangers. The selection comes here on the back of a decent second at Kempton, in a maiden that should stand up ok. Her tendency to pull hard may well be offset by this tight track as it may concentrate her on racing instead and with the stable having its first winner of the season on Monday, a big run could be on the cards. Mazloma was well touted before making a fair debut at Newcastle, and the drop in trip could be a good move at this stage of her career, whilst Miss Brown To You looks a potential improver. Portodora and Quirina have not fared well with the draw, whilst Amylee's form is not exactly stacking up too well and she was well held last time out. An open race, but Erlydors is fancied to oblige.
