Verdict
This is much the weaker of the two divisions and the Cape Cross filly Cape Xenia will be fancied to open her account following a fair third on debut at Salisbury. But there was also plenty of promise in COMANCHE CHIEFTAIN's opening run at Doncaster and he is taken to take a further step forward and land this. Dynamite Inventor should be capable of better while Colours Of Glory ran green again when only fifth at Epsom. Charlie Hills' filly is improving with experience and this more conventional track should see her in a better light. She's preferred to Picture Postcard, last of four here on debut, and Miss Inga Sock.
