In another maiden hurdle that shouldn't take a great deal of winning LEA LADY has progressed in two runs this term and should kick on again so we choose her over Shaciara and the standard setting Knowledge Box. A step up to this trip brought about a career best for the selection last time when she was only just denied and if building on that she should be hard to beat. Shaciara should benefit for this step up in trip but she is untested on fast ground while Knowledge Box should be seen to better effect now dropped back into this company. Cillin Hill has it to prove on firmer ground so the best suggestion we can make is Lea Lady.
