Verdict
Another contest which won't take much winning. ARSENALE at least arrives in good form given she scored on the Fibresand two weeks ago. There should be enough give in the ground for her here and she's less exposed than the majority of these. Grand Liaison scored at Wolverhampton last month but the runner-up did nothing for the form last week and she has another 9lb to carry here. Rosie Jessop gets on well with Ela Goog La Mou, who goes well fresh, so the Peter Charalambous mare isn't ruled out but Lady Cecil's Synaesthesia is having her first run on turf. Mendelita looks best of the rest.
