Sea Sessions won in this grade at Aintree last month, with WHITE PEPPER third and Six Feet Apart fourth, but carries a 5lb penalty here which has probably opened the door for Gavin Cromwell’s filly to turn the tables as she has since got back to winning ways at Fairyhouse. Galah won here last month when favourite and should again beat third Tiki Fire but French import La Renommee may have more scope. All-weather winner Cherokee Dance has only run once on Turf so far and is best watched.
