Wings Of Esteem almost became the first winner for rookie Newmarket-based handler Luke McJannet here earlier this month but was beaten in a three-way photo. The filly should go well again but RAYAA is taken to get back on the winning trail. John Butler's filly made an encouraging reappearance when a close third at Lingfield and the assessor has surprisingly dropped her just enough to get into this handicap. Anastazia is an obvious threat having gone up just 2lb for her victory over the course and distance earlier this month while Admirable Art has been brilliantly placed by Tony Carroll to win nine races though he's now looking on a high enough mark. Be Royale has won around here and is gradually dropping to a feasible mark.
