Danilovna overcame a poor draw to make a winning debut at Lingfield so the form may be a bit better than the facts suggest. Robins Pearl is consistent and makes most appeal of the older fillies, though Sahara should have benefited from her run at Doncaster and also won over this track and trip last year. FOREST LAKES has left Godolphin to join fledgling trainer George Scott. She handled the Polytrack last year, as well as soft going at Catterick, so conditions shouldn't be a problem and this looks a good opportunity to open her account. Ejayteekay is a bit more exposed but probably has place claims after a pipe-opener at Goodwood.
