Marco Botti runs two here and the returning Law Of The Range is 6lb higher than when winning at Sandown. Gracious Melange is preferred with a recent run on the all-weather under her belt and Fallon on board, but the vote goes to GOLDEN ARIA. She had just the one outing last year, but had shown plenty of potential as a two-year-old when beating the useful Timepiece in a maiden at Newmarket and she is taken to reward her trainer's patience here. Snow Magic won twice on the all-weather last term and can figure, along with Cheers For Thea.
