Peak Storm, Village Green and LADY MALET all sport headgear for the first time in this. The latter, runner-up in her last three starts, is the one most likely to show improvement and she can finally open her account today. Always Fabulous is surely better than her debut sixth here would suggest but Mark Johnston's stable is still emerging from its winter break. Polar Forest, not beaten that far when fourth over 6f here last time, looks best of the rest.
