This looks quite competitive but Dariya reverted to type at Stratford after winning at Huntingdon and was well behind Love Actually at Taunton in January. Auditoria tries a new trip and SAINTE DOCTOR (NAP) is preferred as she has run well twice in defeat since returning from a break and will appreciate the drying ground. Handicap debutante My Girl Lollipop also enter calculations but neither are proven on going this quick. Just Jess still has stamina to prove while Royal Practitioner may need to drop a few more pounds before getting her head in front.
