A field large in numbers but low in quality go to post for this mares only race and not many can be given a serious chance of winning and the principals look to be Bonny Grey,Samandara and Antinomy and the confident vote is given to Bonny Grey. The selection won well last time out when beating Sargasso Sea and although she has a penalty for that win she won with plenty in hand and is taken to win again before going on to better things. Samandara rates the main danger on her latest third behind Gold Ring but she gave the impression she would be suited by a longer trip and for that reason she is opposed. Antinomy is another worthy of respect on her best form but she was very disappointing for no apparent reason last time so can not be put forward with any confidence. Separated would have won last time out but for making a mistake two out and if she puts in a fluent round of jumping here she would be a danger to all. Of the remainder The Risen Lark was well fancied on her debut but was very disappointing but is clearly thought capable of better so should be monitored in the market but for the winner we return to Bonny Grey whose form looks rock solid.
