There's little between the leading contenders but Jeremy Noseda's excellent strike rate at the track earns IRIDESCENCE the vote. She's gone close in both starts at Lingfield and today's longer trip will suit. Empowermentofwomen is also going the right way and looks sure to figure while Passionate Diva can be given a chance on her recent third over a longer trip here. Au Renoir is worth noting but fellow debutante Short Shrift is related to three winners and makes more appeal.
