None have encountered ground as testing as this but is was soft going at Carlisle when DREAM KART was beaten only a length with Roseina's Voice back in sixth. Mark Johnston’s filly gets the vote ahead of the penalised Daddies Diva. The latter scored on soft ground at Nottingham last month and this return to the minimum trip will suit after struggling in a conditions race over 6f at Pontefract. It's Been Noted coped less well in soft going at Chester when beaten a long way in second but Birkenhead has been thereabouts since winning on a fast surface at Beverley back in April.
