A couple of these stand out on today’s terms. Natural never figured in the Fred Darling on her return though was placed in Listed company lat year and is rated 93. But WHITEFOUNTAINFAIRY is rated 97 having gone close in the Group 3 Prestige Stakes at Goodwood last season and Andrew Balding’s filly should be winning this. Island Of Life will likely be winning this year but maybe not today and this is much tougher than the race Restless Rose won at Chelmsford in December. On A Roll and Power To Exceed are others likely to improve but not enough to land this.
