It's Taboo has the highest official rating of these and can probably be forgiven her run on the Polytrack last time. This is a far less competitive affair and Mark Usher's filly will never get a better chance to break her duck but PEARL STYLE looks the interesting one. Easy to back on his debut at Doncaster debut, he missed the break and never got into contention despite making late headway. That experience will not have been lost on him and he gets the nod. Cool And Clear and Winnie Perry are both tried in blinkers but are only modest on the evidence so far, as is Kaahen.
