A half decent fillies' handicap can be taken by LEE MILLER, with Trumpet Lily and Rhadegunda as lively threats. The Luca Cumani-trained selection should appreciate this stiff mile, as one who has already won over further at Pontefract. The ground should not be a problem as it is, unless more rains arrive, and she is in good form. Further encouragement here is in the form of a first-time visor and that can galvanise her to another win. Trumpet Lily tries to give weight away all around after going up a fair 4lb for a Newmarket win last time. She is an improving sort who acts on the ground and won't be far away. John Gosden's Rhadegunda is another soft ground scorer over the trip, having broken her maiden at Chester last time. This return to handicapping from a 2lb higher mark won't be a formality, but she has definite frame claims. Snowdrop Princess is a course winner over nine furlongs and is very capable from this mark though she has to prove she handles cut, while Ainia loves the mud and is capable of getting involved. For today, however, Lee Miller is given the nod.
