Highcliffe really took to the Polytrack here last time on handicap debut and took second under Richard Hughes. With a potentially better run expected and from a trainer with a 23% strike-rate with juveniles this year, she should put in a strong race. RED OLEANDER gets our vote after a comfortable success last time on the turf at Lingfield. She is improving with every run and although under penalty for that win she looks the most likely winner of this race. Ninfea has solid claims after winning at Brighton but her initial mark seems a little bit too high. Sheila's Star is consistent but may be playing for the frame once again from the top of the weights, although she may find some assistance from the first application of cheek-pieces.
