Stephanie's Mind, Cashel Mead, Stargem and Wunderbra are four against the field in this fillies' handicap and the vote is given to Cashel Mead. The selection won well last time out when beating Mister Marmaduke over this course and distance. She has a habit of just doing enough in her races so there may be more to come and although this looks more difficult she could be capable of scoring. Stephanie's Mind has had her problems but if she could recapture her best form then she would eat these for breakfast. She won a fabulous race at Newbury last summer but she has not managed to build on that success and unless the market speaks in her favour then she may be best watched. Stargem is a quirky character and she won well at Southwell last time over today's trip when beating Chatshow. However, her best form is over slightly further and on that basis we will take her on. Wunderbra has got some decent form on the turf but she may just need the run on her seasonal reappearance and for the winner we return to Cashel Mead.
