This won’t take much winning and BENIDICTION has a leading chance. Ann Duffield’s filly was beaten only a nose in a claimer over 5f at Beverley last time and this extra distance should suit. Chotto looks next best on her earlier effort at Chelmsford given Fair Skies and Lilly Ballerina have shown nothing so far. Birchfield Lady is a sister to a winner on the all-weather and would not need to be anything out of the ordinary to figure on her debut.
