A few of these have been competing in higher grades. Emaratiya Ana and Godolphin's Sound Reflection are on that list but it's exactly 12 months since the latter was seen on a racecourse. Energia Fox is in danger of becoming disappointing but Headline News is interesting as she got bogged down in the mud in the November Handicap here on her final start last season. Monaleen is unexposed but this will be her first try on Turf while Maven was still beaten 12 lengths when runner-up at Ripon. ISABELLA BIRD is bred to appreciate this longer distance and can reverse Leicester running with Stosur - she gets a tentative vote in another open-looking handicap. Persona Grata is preferred to Lisamour of the others.
