Some well-bred contenders here and narrow preference is for Riverscape ahead of Burn The Breeze and Soxy Doxy. The selection finished third on her debut at Lingfield and now steps up a furlong in trip. That looks a good move as she was outpaced in the middle section of that race, and assuming that she is less-green this afternoon, she is fancied to oblige. Burn The Breeze will not be rushed by her expert trainer, however she has already shown plenty of ability and will be winning soon. Sarah's First needs a check in the market but may need more time as the stable's debutantes often do, so the more interesting newcomers could prove to be Inchwood and Soxy Doxy. The former is a beautifully-bred 200,000 guineas daughter of Dubai Destination out of a Sadler's Wells mare and market support would speak volumes, whilst Soxy Doxy may need further in time but the stable's juveniles always command respect. At a price La Rose Nostra could run well, however it is Riverscape who is taken to score.
