Without A Trace beat older rivals in good fashion at Windsor earlier this month and is taken to follow up against a field made up almost entirely of her own generation with fellow three-year-olds Hidden Chance and Remaal rated the main dangers. The selection has a progressive profile and is taken to defy a 6lb penalty for her latest success. Richtee, from the in-form Richard Fahey stable looks to be the pick of the two older runners ahead of Tight Squeeze but the classic generation look likely to hold sway. Marcus Tregoning's Remaal won her only start, a maiden over course and distance last month, well enough but is difficult to weigh up and, with the yard struggling for winners at present, she may be best watched. Richard Hannon's Hidden Chance holds solid claims on the form shown at Windsor two starts ago and has to be respected but Without A Trace is going the right way at the moment and can complete a hat-trick.
