Hippeia finished third at Leicester when last seen in action while Qafilah also makes her reappearance having recorded a couple of modest efforts last year. Regina Pacis wasn’t beaten that far at Lingfield on her debut back in January and steps up in trip but DOWITCHER has the most recent form. She was beaten less than a length despite finishing only fourth over 7f at Chelmsford a fortnight ago and should go close with any further progress. The newcomers Luola and Harlequin Dancer are both related to winners.
