Marco Botti won last year's renewal with an import from Italy and looks to repeat that feat with KYLLACHY QUEEN. Her second at Wolverhampton with Cold As Ice behind gives her every chance on the book of matching Volunteer Point. The latter won an All-Weather Championship race on Good Friday when Cold As Ice went lame in the closing stages though that's not to take anything away from Mick Channon's tough and consistent filly. Redstart shouldn't be forgotten in this as she won last year's Fred Darling at Newbury in good style before going wrong in the 1000 Guineas and has her first start since. My Call is closely matched with Volunteer Point on earlier running and Merry Me has been placed in Listed company but the remainder have something to find on today's terms.
