There is little between Canford Lilli and Make Music on these terms with placed efforts at Salisbury and Newbury respectively their best form of last year. Both should have the measure of Wowcha and Bad Girl Caoimhe but the newcomer SCIARRA may be good enough to land this. Michael Bell's speedily-bred filly is a sister to high-class sprinter Move In Time among others and gets the vote. Shahaama is related to winners on the all-weather and Thankyou Stars is a half-sister to a Listed winner over 5f.
