A small field for this fillies’ handicap but it looks competitive. Golden Stunner is taking a big step up in class after her narrow Newmarket victory, as is Singyoursong who picked up her third win in four outings at Ascot earlier this month. Improving handicapper Hidden Rebel is also worth considering, but the most interesting horse in the race is the least exposed. ALYDAY had two encouraging outings before running on well to pick up her maiden at Goodwood and is sure to progress further.
