High-class fillies Clowance and Izzi Top have won this race in recent years so today's winner is worth following. John Gosden trained the latter and Winsili is stepped up in trip for her reappearance. The Ribblesdale entry should go well but a chance is taken that VALTINA can build on her recent winning debut at Haydock. She beat a subsequent winner on that occasion and Richard Hughes takes over the reins for this. A winner in soft ground at Doncaster in October, The Lark hails from last year's winning yard and all three of the above are fancied ahead of the more exposed fillies. Cruck Realta is the best of those and had a disappointing Concise well behind when fifth at Newmarket last time while Asgardella has plenty to find with the principals on today's terms
