Onorina was beaten over five lengths when second over today’s distance at Goodwood last month and remains 8lb higher than when last winning. But AYR OF ELEGANCE has gone close over shorter trips on the all-weather here the last twice and is worth a try over 1m6f. Philip Hide’s filly gets the vote although Voice Control was narrowly beaten at Chelmsford in November off today’s mark and could also figure. Rivers Run has been rested since disappointing on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton in February but Broughtons Berry has yet to win in 16 starts.
