A strong-looking Listed event for the time of year with a trio of UK-based entries including a pair from Richard Hannon's yard. Pat Dobbs has chosen Salisbury winner Fig Roll over the impressive Newmarket winner Corncockle but there's unlikely to be much between the pair. SANDIVA attracted strong support on her debut at Nottingham and could hardly have been more impressive, taking some time to realise what was required before powering home for an easy victory. This is much tougher but she's taken to shake off the home challenge headed by the experienced Heart Focus and surprise Curragh winner Glassatura. Aidan O'Brien runs two newcomers and not surprisingly both have immaculate pedigrees so a market watch is best advised.
