Timia goes for a hat-trick after winning a couple of minor races but she was narrowly beaten by Burren View Lady last month and the weights just favour the latter. Lily's Prince only just failed to concede Brave Display 9lb over 6f a couple of weeks ago and won't be inconvenienced by stepping back up in trip. Bien Chase had every chance in that latter event and he's another who won't mind the extra. SHEISDIESEL has found a mile just beyond her in her recent runs and wasn't beaten far over track and trip on her previous starts. She's back on a winning mark and hopefully her young rider can steer her to another success. Honor Oak has been looking a few pounds high and Fastidious is drawn widest of all.
