Canford Belle won at Kempton last month and just missed out over track and trip last week when runner-up to Lourdes Lady. Sophistica also won over course and distance at the same meeting with Cadland Lad back in third but it could be the turn of JUMEIRAH STAR today. She finished closer when third at Kempton last time and Robert Cowell's filly may now be ready to strike. My Best Song went close at Bath on her penultimate start while High Speed and Desert River are others to consider in something of a lottery.
