Rosaleen could be of interest on her reappearance if fit enough but Brian Meehan's filly has a bit to find on official BHA ratings to get the better of EVA'S REQUEST, who looks the one they all have to beat and is preferred ahead of Just Lille. The last mentioned looks the pick of Ann Duffield's two runners ahead of Lady Rangali and would have every chance if able to reproduce the form shown when chasing home Granston at Ripon last month but he has disappointed on one outing since then. Market support for either Nice To Know or Rio Guru would be of some interest, while Trumpet Lily has held her form well in two starts since winning at Windsor in April and has every chance but this looks tougher. The vote then goes to Eva's Request, who was good value for her win in a Listed race at Goodwood and then followed up at Epsom on Saturday. Mick Channon's filly looks to have an obvious chance again if turning out.
