AWJILA can boast the best piece of form with her debut third at Newmarket standing out in this company. Normal improvement should be enough to see Ralph Beckett's filly open her account. The step down to 5f last time didn't pay off for Dictionary at Beverley as she was beaten five lengths into second and better is expected here, while Royal Selection and Saktoon have shown enough to suggest they can make their presence felt. Mucky Molly will need a big step forward to figure however.
