Heritage Coast looks a stand-out bet here and she is nominated to get the better of Tyrrells Wood and Clovis. The selection looks a progressive filly and she ran well last time at Lingfield when a close second behind Comeback Queen. This trip should not be a problem and she should be tough to beat. Tyrrells Wood slipped leaving the stalls at Sandown last time, so it was a noteworthy effort to finish as close as he did to the winner Silver Regent. He remains unexposed and he can go well. Clovis ran well behind Wintercast at Nottingham last time and this step-up in trip is a big plus for him. Valvigneres is an interesting newcomer and is worth a look in the market, but for the winner we will stick with Heritage Coast.
