Blhadawa failed to give weight to a younger rival when odds-on at Wolverhampton last time and it could be a similar story here. Rialto Magic is usually thereabouts without being quite good enough and finished ahead of Powerfulstorm last time but the tentative vote goes to the returning LADY IN WHITE. She will need to improve on last year's efforts on Turf but Roger Varian's yard remains in good form. Darrell Rivers is another lightly-raced type capable of better while Lady Tatania is a newcomer to note.
