Foresight, Fearless Warrior and Purely By Chance may all do better with various headgear on for the first time, however Look To This Day looks the sort to do better now handicapping and gets the nod accordingly. An initial mark of 70 looks about right and Roger Charlton's filly shapes as if this longer trip will be ok; she handled soft ground ok on her second start at Warwick and could run a big race. Dubai Petal is very consistent and has a favourite's chance; she has form on a softer surface but her win did come on good to firm. Capstan is related to several who improved with age and also when tried over longer trips so watch out for market confidence, whilst Kiho and Abstract Colours need to improve on what they have done so far this season. Berrynarbor is consistent and should not be taken lightly, however her best form has been in weak company. A good handicap with a few question marks and we will stick with Look To This Day.
