Al Freej has won twice on Polytrack this year and usually runs her race. She's preferred to Strictly Silca and Wakeup Little Suzy. Queen Aggie has plunged down the handicap this season but remains out of sorts and this is tougher than the race Oasis Spirit finished second in at Kempton last time. ARAQELLA makes most appeal as she returned to winning ways at Kempton last week and has enough scope to overcome a 5lb rise in the weights. She gets the vote as Young Dottie is rated 9lb higher on the all-weather than when scoring at Epsom in August.
