Daphne May is penalised for last month’s course and distance success while Sea Of Charm went close dropped back to 6f here last time. VALLEY OF FLOWERS attempted to make all over a mile at Pontefract on her debut and though finding one too good, she finished well clear of the rest. This shorter trip should suit David O’Meara’s filly and she gets the vote. Lhebayeb showed improvement on her latest start while the newcomer She's A Lion is related to several winners.
