Iffraaj Pink wears headgear for the first time having won her maiden over course and distance last time. She's less exposed than Lady Of The House though the latter ran well in similar company to this at Thirsk recently and has claims. Give Way Nelson should be capable of better this year after ending last season as a runner-up in Listed company in Germany but Simply Shining will need to step up on her reappearance effort at Doncaster to figure. Luca Cumani has won this twice in recent years and SHARQAWIYAH looks to have every chance on her handicap debut after finishing fourth in a decent maiden at Ascot. She gets the vote as Polytrack winner Zero Game steps up in class off a higher mark.
