Olympic Runner had been showing promise on Turf prior to winning a maiden on Polytrack in November. She's unlikely to fail here through lack of fitness and is a leading contender. Blue Geranium was a bit disappointing in two starts over this trip on the all-weather last month, however, while Anastazia has now run 14 times on Turf without managing a win and was a beaten favourite over a mile last time at Lingfield. SHYPEN could go well at decent odds with Jane Elliott's claim in her favour. She looked progressive at the end of last year and has faced some tough tasks in handicaps this season. Lajatico has ability and rates a big danger on her handicap debut off a fair mark.
