A competitive mares’ handicap, though Molly Childers and Shambra have struggled to get their heads in front this season. Jubilympics looked to be coming to hand at Sandown while Momella was keeping on when falling upped to 3m in a Grade 2 at Newbury. Chilli Filli, from a yard that has won this twice in the last five years, won easily at Ludlow and should make her presence felt in this higher grade while Culture De Sivola may also be improving. SAINTE LADYLIME (NAP) has not run a bad race over this trip and will be all the better for her reappearance at Southwell so gets the vote.
