This looks a straightforward task for BANTAM following her fine run behind Stephanie Frances in a Listed contest at Cheltenham. She only gave best on the run-in that day and faces nothing of the winner's calibre here. Bondi Mist is the obvious choice for forecast-backers as she's already been placed at Plumpton and Taunton this year. The other pair have little to recommend them.
