Hollie Point was beaten only a short-head at Kempton last time but Be Royale was not far behind in third with Queen Aggie back in fifth. The former pair could both figure but a chance is taken on the less exposed COLOURFILLY, not beaten far in either start this year and open to further progress. Invade won a maiden race at Chelmsford last month but was behind Hollie Point last time while The Dukkerer's earlier win came over 1m2f and Venus Grace is preferred.
