Most of these are untried over today’s trip but that’s not the case with OUR CILLA. She never figured over 2m last time but scored in soft ground over course and distance before that and gets another chance on that form. Percy Thrower has placed over 1m6f before without threatening but Ravenswood went close over a shorter trip here last time and Snowy Winter was second over 1m3f at Bath. Perla Blanca also has a shout on her earlier placed efforts over 1m4f.
