Wirral Girl bolted up at Newcastle last week but that was over 6f. She’s spent her career over sprint distances and this extra furlong may be beyond her. SILCA MISTRESS also won over 6f here last time but has scored over 7f on Turf and Clive Cox’ filly can defy a 2lb rise. Curious Fox is very consistent but is another better over shorter distances and she is more exposed than Make Magic. The latter, however, is having her first outing since April and Angel Islington may also need another run to put her straight.
