An interesting fillies handicap to round off the card. Orange Pip and Chelsea Girl are those that make most appeal on all known form and preference is for the first mentioned. The pair clashed at Salisbury in early May where only a 1 1/4l separated them. Clive Cox's filly put in what was a disappointing effort since behind Onceaponatime while Orange Pip was not disgraced behind the 83 rated Dubai Power. Of the remainder Sister Moonshine disappointed last time at Yarmouth when the ground was probably on the quick side. Tea Cake is surprisingly dropped in trip after appearing to do all her best work in the closing stages over seven furlongs last time. Orange Pip gets the vote to land the finale.
