Verdict
Our Kes is taken to score again ahead of She's So Pretty, Spice Star and Sienna Star. Paul Howling's mare is one of the most consistent horses in the lineup and whilst she has only won once in seven starts on the turf (compared to 5/2 on the all-weather), her most recent run showed that she is on an attractive mark back on turf. She showed a good attitude that day over course and distance, and can win again off this mark of 61. Spice Star is taken to improve for his reappearance over a mile although stamina must be taken on trust for this longer trip. Monmouthshire warrants respect as a course and distance winner and is only 3lbs above his last winning mark. Shaheer and Conny Nobel are both consistent sorts so cannot be ruled out, however of more interest may be She's So Pretty. Walter Swinburn's son of Grand Lodge has solid claims if building on his recent run at Lingfield and must be on anyone's shortlist, however Our Kes is a proven performer and can win again.
