Three-year-olds have an excellent record and RED TEA gets the vote to enhance the statistics. Peter Hiatt's filly is stepping up to this trip for the first time having stayed on strongly on her handicap debut over 7f at Newbury earlier this month, her first start since November. Up To You has only raced on Polytrack but shown ability while Ejayteekay found 1m2f stretching her stamina at Salisbury having just been caught over a furlong shorter at Sandown. Lulani looks best of the older fillies having made her way back from a long break with a fine run at Nottingham in April. She's won over this trip on soft ground and it shouldn't be long before she's back in the winner's enclosure.
