A couple of these made winning starts including Turning The Table, who scored in testing going over a mile at Chepstow. But NATHRA is preferred on her victory over today's trip in soft ground at Salisbury when seven lengths clear of the third. Yarmouth maiden winner Alqubbah and Winter Rose are more exposed with the latter beaten in a handicap last time while Someone Exciting has little chance and looks set to pick up the fifth place prize money.
