PENNY DROPS should take all the beating in this. She was only beaten a length-and-a-half in a Listed race over this distance at Newmarket in November and though surprisingly beaten in a maiden over this track and trip a week later probably found that coming too soon. Perfect Blessings was a decent third over 7f at Newbury on her debut earlier this month and has scope while Alpine Flower was placed in both starts as a juvenile, though tries 6f for the first time today. Rekdhat's pedigree suggests she'll do much better over longer trips.
