The 105-rated SNOQUALMIE GIRL can continue the good form of the David Elsworth team here and gain the second Listed win of her career; Baila Me and Dove look the best of her rivals. The Montjeu filly Snoqualmie Girl was a tad disappointing last time out at Newmarket in a Group Two for her sex. Now dropped back to Listed level, this three-time winner rates as the one to beat if reproducing her Chester win in September. Storyland and Acquisition are good handicappers but may struggle in this grade, Princess Taylor is closely matched with the selection on their run behind Tanoura at York (along with Flame Of Gibraltar), whilst Dove is open to improvement after just three starts and this half-sister to Naheef cannot be overlooked. Baila Me is highly-rated but this former French-trained filly is yet to show her true colours on these shores. She didn't get much of a run however at Newmarket last time out and now dropped in grade this Godolphin runner looks a huge player. Flame Of Gibraltar and Roskia are both rated in the 90's and have ability, however it is the class act Snoqualmie Girl who can take top honours.
