MANUELA DE VEGA stayed on strongly to win over a mile in this grade at Pontefract in October. She’s a sister to the stable’s 1m4f winner Isabel De Urbina so the trip here shouldn’t present any problems and any rain would also aid her cause. Ralph Beckett’s filly can prevent Leopardstown fifth Secret Thoughts giving Ballydoyle a fourth winner in this in five years and a seventh overall, despite a small penalty. Mehdaayih beat Wetherby winner and stablemate Fanny Logan at Yarmouth last year and it shouldn’t be presumed that she is the Gosden second string – the yard won this with Enable in 2017. Grace And Danger has bags of scope and Vivid Diamond was staying on over a mile at Newmarket in November so enters calculations.
