Tim Easterby has his string in good form right now so Bollin Dolly has to be respected on her reappearance but she has to race off a career high mark and a better bet looks to be ANTIGUA SUNRISE, who gets the vote ahead of Paquerettza. The last mentioned won well here over a mile last time and a 3lb rise for that is perfectly fair but she may not be as effective over the longer trip today so may be booked for a place at best. Marco Botti's Lady Artemisia is less exposed than most of these after just eight starts but needs to improve on recent form to trouble the judge, while Gay Kelleway's Faldal has a bit to find with Paquerettza on running here last month. Richard Hannon's Caster Sugar ended last season in good form, winning her last two starts off marks of 70 and 75, but she may struggle today on her reappearance racing off a mark of 81. Preference then is for another having their first start of the current campaign, Antigua Sunrise, who represents the in-form Richard Fahey stable so lack of a recent run need not be of concern, and she can make a winning return off what looks a favourable mark.
