REQAABA returned from a lay-off with a four-length victory over the minimum trip at Windsor. Already a winner over today's distance, it's likely Robert Cowell's filly has further improvement in her and she gets the nod with Oisin Murphy's claim negating all of a 4lb rise in the weights. This is tougher than the race Milly's Gift won at Bath and Paul Hanagan takes the ride on her stablemate Malilla. Victrix Ludorum drops back down into handicap company and is preferred to Ladyship and La Fortunata while Exceptionelle is another to consider as she's less exposed than the consistent Floating Along.
