Verdict
TAMILLA represents last year’s winning yard so a better effort is expected from the Haggas filly while Goodwood runner-up Sunset Point is now 16lb higher than an earlier success at Windsor. Divina Grace also placed at Goodwood last time but is upped in class along with the progressive Alpina Express, who has a 10lb rise to contend with having landing a hat-trick with an easy win at Windsor.
