Verdict
Tirania, third behind a well-regarded filly on her debut at Newbury, looks a better bet than stablemate Paradise Cove and is probably the main danger to ITALIAN HEIRESS. The Cheveley Park filly was doing her best work at the finish over 7f at Leicester in October so she’s sure to appreciate this extra furlong and her trainer, Clive Cox, had the winner of this last year. Sheila's Rock was third over course and distance three weeks ago on her introduction and shouldn’t be far away but this looks a slightly better race.
