Abbotts Ann probably has the best form among those to have raced but, under these conditions, she may not be at her best so a chance is taken with Blue Echo, who gets the vote ahead of Ms Victoria and Naughty Thoughts. The last mentioned comes from a yard rich with juvenile talent although the daughter of Grand Lodge would need to improve on her debut effort to take a hand. Richard Hannon does well with his runners at Windsor and both of his representatives, Dubai's Fairy and Nashharry, have to be respected. Just Lovely makes plenty of appeal on pedigree but the yard are hardly known for their success with first time out winners, while Ms Victoria may prefer a faster surface. The ground should be fine for the Kyllachy filly Blue Echo though and she is taken to build on a promising debut effort when not knocked about.
