Blue Shoes went close at Ripon on her penultimate start and could figure if reproducing that performance, but she was a well beaten third last time and preference goes to KOHALA. David Barron's filly looked like making a winning debut at Doncaster before faltering close home and can open her account here with that experience under her belt. Tip Top Gorgeous and Beechey's Beauty look likely to finish closer this time, while newcomer Champagne Katie is related to a Listed juvenile winner and should be noted.
