SPIETA finished a long way ahead of the third when runner-up at Brighton on her return. The winner has since gone in again and Luca Cumani's filly gets the nod on the strength of that form. Thwart has decent claims having scored over 1m3f here last month while Brigh won a maiden at Lingfield back in February and can also figure. Irene Kennet won again at Bath last time but she has a 7lb hike in the weights to contend with and the less exposed Jacobella makes more appeal.
