Verdict
Marco Botti drops KUNE KUNE significantly in grade and also, slightly surprisingly, in trip against primarily more exposed types. She hasn't been disgraced in hot maiden company and a repeat of her debut effort at Newbury when a slightly unlucky fourth would probably suffice. Tahnee Mara represents the Kevin Ryan team which is having such a tremendous time and rates the danger on the back of a fine effort at Chester when caught close home. Her early pace will be a dangerous weapon, whilst the consistent Rougini has gone well in maiden company and should do so again. Blue Shoes and Dream Whisperer are more exposed having had plenty of chances but both house acceptable each-way claims.
