Lily's Angel has found life tough in Group races since rattling up a four-timer that included wins on the all-weather tracks at Dundalk and Meydan. The Irish filly should give a good account and Burke's Rock has leading claims on her head defeat in similar company to this at Lingfield in November when Love Your Looks finished third. Dutch Rose beat Whimsical at York in August and the latter went on to win a couple of races before the end of last season including a victory over 7f here. Miss Dashwood has plenty to find at the weights but James Fanshawe trained last year's winner and must think she has a chance while dual Newmarket winner I'm So Glad could also figure. STIRRING BALLAD came up just short on her recent reappearance over 7f at this track but the return to a mile with that run under her belt can see her back to winning ways in this.
