ESTEMAALA is plunged straight into a handicap after overcoming inexperience to won a Pontefract maiden on debut last month. Marcus Tregoning obviously thinks that the handicapper has left him a bit of leeway with the Cape Cross filly and she gets the vote. Little Dutch Girl won't mind the ground and ran another excellent race at Salisbury last time. She looks a danger along with Burnham, who is possibly still improving, but the former Aidan O'Brien inmate Canary Wharf hasn't been seen since winning a Wolverhampton maiden in January and is probably being prepared with an all-weather campaign this winter. Man Of Plenty should improve for a recent second at Goodwood, however, and looks a better bet than top weight Require.
