Asian Wing completed a double here in December and can't have been at his best for his hat-trick attempt the following month. Star Power is just held on one of those earlier runs but LADY LYRATH, though still a maiden, gets the nod as her latest run should be ignored as she didn't take to Southwell's Fibresand. Her earlier efforts suggest she's up to this and her young rider's claim has to be a bonus. Noverre Princess is also a maiden but will surely be winning soon after several near-misses. She's on the same mark as when beaten around five lengths last time and may have to settle for a place again. Flower Bouquet has been running moderately over a mile and it's possible this much longer trip will bring about some improvement.
