Verdict

SUN FESTIVAL didn't perform badly last time despite being a beaten favourite. He's up another 2lb here but has scored decisively on his last two outings at this unconventional track and remains feasibly treated over his optimum trip. Paternoster Square is still a maiden but should have more to offer after just a handful of starts and has also gone well for Harry Burns in the past. The all-weather form of Miss Bluebelle gives her a decent chance on the form book but she's yet to produce that level on Turf. Emma Emilleen has shown promise in maiden and novice company and My Chiquita and Gallimimus also have claims.
