The three-year-old ULTRASONIC can make the most of her weight concession and land this. She improved to finish third behind the unbeaten Pearl Secret in a Listed event at Sandown last time and will appreciate any further rain. Pearl Diva returns from a lengthy absence but was a promising two-year-old and William Buick's presence in the saddle catches the eye while Hallelujah beat the re-opposing Moretta Blanche by a neck at Goodwood three weeks ago and both should be thereabouts again here. Catfish has run well in a couple of decent handicaps this year and makes most appeal of the remainder.
