Michael Bell has found an easy opportunity for his filly Higher Love, and she should be capable of beating Estancia and Ticki Tori. This expensive daughter of Saddler's Wells improved on her Leicester debut to chase home Tcherina at Haydock next time. The third, who was three lengths away, has been successful since on the all-weather so the form is rock solid and she looks the one to be on. Estancia is an interesting newcomer. She is a well bred daughter of Grand Lodge and hails from a yard in good form. If the market speaks in her favour, take note. Ticki Tori looks best of the remainder having finished a close up third behind Taronga at Yarmouth in October. So this is not the strongest of maidens and Higher love is confidently expected to lose her maiden tag.
