FAVOURITE CHILD is the most exposed but the same trainer/jockey combination has won this twice in the last four years and there is every chance that the extended 6f will suit the Mattmu filly, who has her ground and probably found a run at Chester last month coming too soon after an unlucky second at Leicester. Daiquiri Francais is making her handicap debut off the back of two victories at Windsor and rates a danger while Prism is 4lb better off than when third behind Minnamoolka at Salisbury. A winner over course and distance on debut, Allayaali ran in Listed company next time and should find this easier while a cosy win at Brighton will have boosted Summer's Day’s confidence. Dora Penny is on a hat-trick but facing a stiff task off top weight.
