Last year's winner Fig Roll had ran well in the Queen Mary earlier and LITTLEMISSBLAKENEY was not beaten far in the same race at Ascot last time. That looks the best form on offer and Hugo Palmer's filly gets the nod. She has the beating of Bonnie Grey and Cajoling on collateral form but there's a host of maiden winners likely to improve. They include Parsley, representing last year's winning yard, while Tigrilla won nicely at Haydock and Zeb Un Nisa was an easy winner at Bath. Accipiter makes most appeal of the remainder on her debut victory at Kempton.
