UCANTMISSME is likely to be suited by the drop back to six furlongs having not appeared to see out the seven furlong trip last time when finishing second and David Arbuthnot's charge can land this. Of those with form, Telling Stories looks the biggest danger while Forever's Girl left behind her moderate form last time when finishing third over course and distance. U cantmissme set out to make all last time when finishing second in a maiden which looked much stronger to this contest. Considering the time of the race was not bad and the fact the selection contributed to the pace of the race for the majority of the race, it makes the performance all the more creditable. Telling Stories commenced her career over seven furlongs before been stepped up to a mile. She did not appear at home on the fibresand at Southwell last time but even so, the overall form of both her maidens look considerably weaker to that of the selections last outing. Forever's Girl raced closer to the pace last time but the maiden once again lacked any strength in depth. Swiss Lake Sweetie failed to supplement her promising debut at Catterick last time but is a place contender at the very least. Shirley High has shown moderate progression in her three starts. It would be a surprise if anything else were to land it and Ucantmissme is given the nod. (John McDonnell)
