Nassuvian Pearl was pulled-up on her reappearance after hanging badly and headgear is applied while Unilit continues to struggle. But the remainder can all be given a chance with SEMRA just preferred. Liitle went right on her handicap debut at Chelmsford when missing the break and having to be switched close home but she still finished a close-up second and this extra furlong will suit. Battlement also ran well on her handicap bow at Newmarket while Dutch Destiny ended last year with a maiden win at Salisbury and both placed horses have subsequently won. Winter Rose found one too good on her reappearance at Wolverhampton and drops back down in distance.
