Chocoya’s absence should leave the way clear for SHE’S A LION. Mark Johnston’s filly improved to go close over today’s distance at Catterick last time and any further progress should see her off the mark. Mariance was less convincing when attempting today’s 7f trip in a handicap at Newmarket last month but may do better back at this level while Dubai Tigress is a likely improver. Vanitas could prove best of the newcomers.
