Yarmouth winner ARAQELLA is the least exposed and made a bold bid on her handicap debut at Kempton earlier in the month. She can improve enough to land this. Harbinger Lass is harder to fancy as her recent second came in soft ground over 1m2f while Ceelo has yet to take advantage of his slide down the weights. Continental Divide won his maiden here back in April but has shown nothing in three subsequent starts on Turf and the remainder make even less appeal.
