She's Our Beauty's surprise recent win came in claiming company and preference is for another recent winner SPIC 'N SPAN who can defy a penalty. Patience was rewarded last time as the three-year-old got off the mark at the 26th time of asking. He had deserved that win after some narrow defeats and with the confidence high, he is fancied to run a big race. She's Our Beauty also has a penalty for a recent win and runs this track well, whilst Hollow Jo is fairly treated on old form. Egyptian Lord is one to watch in the betting returning from a break, Myriola could hit a place, whilst Mystickhill represents a trainer who does well here. A competitive start, but Spic 'N Span can win again.
