Spirit Of Grace finished a well beaten third on her latest start here and may do better dropping back in trip. Symphonic Dancer and Misere didn't set the world alight on their debuts and may need more time, while the newcomers Shikra and Step And Fetch are related to winners and worth a second glance in the betting. However, DESERT SHINE finished runner-up on both starts over 7f on turf last year and Michael Bell's filly should take this if running anywhere near that level of form.
