Ghalia Al Thumama is very interesting running in her first handicap. Poppy Love made a winning start in handicaps at Wolverhampton and should be thereabouts again but MISS MUMTAZ ran well in a much better race last time on Tapeta and looks the one to be on as she has gone close twice on Turf this year. Stosur is fully exposed but well treated on the pick of her form as is Alexandrakollontai, though she’s on a long losing run. Bush Beauty is an infrequent winner but Kismat is open to improvement and doesn’t look badly handicapped.
