Redeye Special made a winning start to her career when beating a 52-rated rival at Yarmouth in September so looks reasonably well treated for her first start since off a mark of 57 and is taken to continue the good form of the Michael Bell/Jamie Spencer combination and score at the main expense of Siwa and Riquewihr. The last mentioned has more to do off a 4lb higher mark than when scoring here last time and is probably booked for a place at best. Ivory Lace could be coming to hand judged by her latest start, while Miss Dagger is too inconsistent. Kallista's Pride is capable but may be a shade high in the weights at present, while top weight Pippa's Dancer is entitled to need the run. Ed Dunlop's Siwa is probably better than she showed last time and may do better back up in distance so she has to be respected but Redeye Special looks to be on a fair mark and she gets the vote.
