Only four runners go to post for this novice fillies' stakes and the three to concentrate on look to be Bibury Flyer, Word Perfect and Pivotal's Princess - with the vote given to Bibury Flyer. The selection has got a string of creditable efforts next to her name and she sets a fair standard for the rest here. She ran well enough when second behind Oh Dara last time and with conditions to suit she should take a good deal of beating. Word Perfect has done little wrong in her two runs to date and she won well when beating Dante's Diamond at Ripon last time out. She has had a break since then so might just need this run, and she did run a bit green in her latest run so might have to play second fiddle to the more experienced Bibury Flyer here. Pivotal's Princess is the newcomer in the field and she looks a well-bred filly so a watching brief on the market is advised for any signs of confidence. Ochil Hills Dancer will have to significantly improve on anything she has shown to date to trouble the principles and for the winner we return to Bibury Flyer.
