Daring Affair gets the call here with The Gaikwar, Sorbiesharry, She's Our Lass and Wujood all getting mentions. Daring Affair comes here in good heart and, having already won on this surface, catches our eye here receiving weight from most of the field. Wujood debuts on the all-weather but comes here on the back of an improved - and winning - effort on Turf, so is respected, as is course and distance winner Sorbiesharry, who races here from just a pound above a winning mark. The Gaikwar also gets respect as a course and distance winner, although he has a career high to defy to score, while She's Our Lass is another of those all-weather debutantes who looks to hold a solid chance if taking to the surface. Of the others, Gaelic Princess is well-weighted on her best Turf form but her overall Polytrack form is patchy, and Fisby goes well here but is better as a rule over further. The others need career bests or to rediscover their spark to feature. Not so the latter with Daring Affair, who gets our vote here.
