This looks a competitive fillies' handicap as most arrive in decent form. Blind Faith was only beaten a head at Sandown after winning her maiden at Chelmsford but the tacky going will suit THE BEGUM, who got tapped for pace when favourite last time on Polytrack. High Hopes had little to beat over a mile here last time but will appreciate the return to a longer trip. Ejayteekay needs some help from the handicapper, however, while more would be needed from St Mary's, Kath's Legacy and Raven Banner.
