First Harmony may complete a hat-trick over Queen Soraya, Doce Vida and Be My Valentine. Although saddled with a penalty, First Harmony could still prove hard to stop judged on her two wins to date. The form of her Hexham debut success has worked out well, and she had Marsh Run further behind when following up at Wetherby. Mel Brittain's mare was not stopping at the finish last time, suggesting that there is more in the locker, and she is taken to add to her tally. Doce Vida overcame a six-month absence when landing a bumper run on Lingfield's Polytrack, a rare sight in itself, and should act here providing the ground stays good. Queen Soraya did it nicely over the course and distance on her introduction but was helped by the fact that it turned into a sprint, given her flat pedigree. Nevertheless she should go well despite a penalty, while Be My Valentine comes from a stable that can get them ready first time. Our idea of the winner though is First harmony.
