All of these can be given a chance of sorts. Sheer Honesty won her maiden at Ffos Las last year in heavy ground but Ixelles Diamond went close over track and trip last month off a higher mark. TABLA won here in December and was beaten only a length over track and trip on her penultimate start. Today's combination of first-time headgear and an apprentice taking 7lb off her back may see Lee Carter's filly find the improvement necessary to land this. Colourfilly is another helped out by an apprentice's allowance while Desert Morning has more scope than Make On Madam.
