The selection is Pajada ahead of Mum's Memories and Dexileos. Pajada has put up two reasonable efforts - certainly in the context of this race - on her last two starts, both of them having come at Lingfield. Okay, she has yet to race here and was a little disappointing overall last time but, with the value of the form standing up to inspection in the context of this race, she can go well. Alisdanza seemed to improve in a Turf maiden last time and can go well if building on that on the all-weather. Dexileos has been running with credit at this level at Lingfield and Kempton of late and holds place claims, while FaIry Monarch returns to the all-weather after two solid Turf efforts, although he has yet to run well here. MeAthop drops to class seven today and might go well stepping up in trip, while Mum's Memories put in an improved effort last time when not beaten far by Time For Change, who has run well under a penalty since, making late headway in the process and holds possibilities here. Once again, though, the selection is Pajada.
