A hard to race to call given there is little between the leading contenders. Zest won over a mile here last month when narrowly beating Summer Icon with Bint Dandy and Carolinae further behind. The latter was also beaten by Soul Silver at Chelmsford before that while Summer Icon beat Diagnostic when scoring at Wolverhampton in January. LUCYMAI has something to find on the bare form of her fifth behind Carolinae at Kempton last time. But she was given a tough task racing out wide on that occasion and had been in flying form before that when landing a hat-trick over today’s trip. Dean Ivory’s mare gets another chance in this. Mia Tesoro has a shout on these terms but drops down in distance while Make Music could only manage fourth in last year’s renewal.
