Bereka will probably start favourite for this on the back of her neck second to Perfect Pursuit at Brighton but MADAME MIRASOL was successful in her only previous start in this grade and might be the one to beat. She's been dropped another couple of pounds since her latest sixth at Thirsk where she didn't really get the run of the race. It's difficult to make a strong case for many of the remainder with Sandsman's Girl having been beaten in a seller last time, though Hickster and Speed Society are previous winners here and Simma is less exposed than her rivals.
