Plenty with chances in this but it could pay to stick with ROSIE ROYALE. A cosy winner in soft ground at Sandown last time, she should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. My Mo and Pink Ribbon are recent winners on the all-weather though neither has so far won on Turf while Intrigue has been raised 5lb after a couple of placed efforts on the Polytrack. Hit List found one too good sent off favourite at Chelmsford on his handicap debut and Lopito de Vega, a dual winner over a mile including Beverley last month, attempts this longer trip for the first time.
