Rene's Girl, a close-up second at Stratford last time, won over a shorter trip here in December. She’ll probably start favourite but may not be as effective on this quicker surface. VERY EXTRAVAGANT’s fitness will have to be taken on trust and her form tailed off at the end of last year as she climbed the weights. But she stays well and has her ground so it would be no surprise to see her bounce back. Verygoodverygood is another with decent claims on his best form and preferred to Leith Hill Lad and What A Diva.
