Ayala Cove is on the upgrade and can take this modest handicap, Cool Isle and Katie Lawson may be the main dangers. Pat Haslam's filly belied odds of 40/1 when a staying on fourth behind Ohana over course and distance. She was outpaced early on in that contest and if she races closer to the pace today she may just go on to win the race. Katie Lawson has disappointed on her two visits here in the past, but did run well at Wolverhampton last time. If she can transfer that form to this surface she will be hard to beat. Cool Isle though looks to be a more obvious threat as she finished an excellent third in a seller here last time. She had some higher rated horses behind that day and could have got in here on a decent mark.Youralittlemiller is another to consider for each-way purposes, but for the winner we will side with Ayala Cove.
