A dire contest in which stakes should probably be kept to a minimum. Molliana has shown a bit more in her last two starts but Lace Bonnet is already on her fourth trainer having raced only 12 times. BISOUBISOU is only 3lb higher than a winner over course and distance in December. Though she’s shown little since her latest run was over fences and she’s probably worth another chance. Bonbonniere has barely raised a gallop so far so Spirit Of Rome may be best of the rest.
