A tough fillies maiden to contend with now and those who have raced should make there presence felt. That being said the vote goes to NIMUE ahead of That's My Style and Chilli Green. Jamie Spencer gets the leg up on Paul Cole's filly who has shown plenty of form in decent maidens so far in her career. She has been unlucky to bump into a few smart sorts and this looks her easiest task so far. That's My Style will give the selection most to think about after running well enough in a good fillies maiden at Nottingham on her last start. She looks to be progressing, although in her own time, and with Frankie on board a big run is expected. A slight concern is the course as she didn't seem to handle Newmarket that well two starts back. Chilli Green is related to a couple prolific winners and should be up to getting competitive in this race. She ran behind a decent type on debut and with normal progression expected, she should be in the shake up. Others to note are Fashion Tycoon and Lathaat especially the latter as she is expected to leave her last run well behind her but Nimue gets the nod in a competitive fillies maiden.
