Verdict

Gotta Show Me left previous form behind when narrowly beaten at Newcastle and can figure again but PURPLE LOVE is preferred. The latter was having her first outing of the year when beaten less than a length at Newmarket and this shorter trip can see her off the mark. Initio placed at Thirsk and headgear is applied for this while both Vultar and Sky High Girl step up from 6f. Mountain Flower and Thunder Princess are newcomers to note.
