Zahra's Place won well at Fontwell in December and gets the vote to win again here, with Adorabella and Maybe A Malt the best of the rest. The selection won over a shorter trip at Fontwell but the step up in trip today shouldn't be a problem, and assuming she handles the artificial surface, she should have leading claims. Love The Hat was too keen when tiring on soft ground last time out. She had previously run well when a runner-up on her debut and she remains of interest. Maybe A Malt is another stepping up in trip and it looks sure to suit, however it may be that she needs even further in time. Otarie should improve on her debut but perhaps of more interest is stablemate Adorabella. She has experience of the track when a decent fourth on her debut so warrants plenty of respect today. Blue Eyed Eloise should improve on her debut, but for the winner we will return to Zahra's Place.
