Richard Guest runs three here and it's not hard to work out that Lady Joanna Vassa will be the pick of those and it will just be a question of whether she can hold on. One of the likely closers is sure to be her stablemate Ambitious Icarus but as usual he'll make his task harder than it is with a slow start. Top weight Gnaad would not be totally out of this back on turf and is of interest but in the end a chance is taken with LITTLE MISS DAISY . If she acts on this surface she is potentially well handicapped and has more potential than most here.
