All of BISHOPS CANNINGS’ runs have come in small fields so she may be slightly flattered by her form figures. However, David Elsworth has booked Ryan Moore and his filly hasn’t been beaten far in any of her races so she looks the one to beat. Secret Salvage takes a huge step up in distance and is rated 11lb lower than the selection but Stepney is a half-sister to a winner over this trip, though is from a yard not noted for first-time winners. None of the others make much appeal on what they’ve shown so far.
