Spice Girl had to be ridden out to hold the odds-on No Hiding Place at Stratford and has a penalty but that was a big step up on her first run. Pure Affection has won between the flags but Oksana was keen and soon beaten when third at Southwell. Sundial Storm may be more interesting having made late headway into fourth at Uttoxeter but a couple of newcomers catch the eye. Ridgeway Pearl is a half-sister to the versatile Tara Road but we’ll take a chance on NICELY DONE as her dam has produced winners with her first two foals to race and she represents a yard that has a good strike-rate here in bumpers.
