Verdict
East Bank has struggled since making a winning debut over the minimum trip at Beverley and has been gelded. It remains to be seen if FILLY ONE fares any better under a penalty for making a winning debut over course and distance but doesn’t look a strong race and she gets the vote. Himawari may improve enough to get involved and is preferred to the newcomers Angel Of The Bay and Ruth Langmore.
