Verdict
Chillie Billie went close over C&D a fortnight ago and has every chance with Keiren Fallon on board today, while Arctic Stryker could figure having finished runner-up at Brighton last month. ASHBINA has been placed in maidens at Folkestone and at Epsom last time where she had today's rival Swift Cat nearly four lengths behind. This looks easier and she gets the vote to open her account on her all-weather debut. Jake's Destiny is related to winners and is a newcomer to note.
