Star Berry is selected here ahead of Broughton's Revival and Generous Jem. Broughton's Revival seems to have improved of late and this lightly-raced filly can improve again stepping up in trip. If being able to build again on her Kempton run last time, Generous Jem would have to be considered, while Prelude holds a chance if managing to repeat all-weather form on Turf. Star Berry's improvement last time over today's trip suggested that she could be able to play a part in this race, while the remainder have a bit to prove, it seems to us, with, once again, the selection being Star Berry.
