Verdict
This looks wide open with several three-year-old fillies travelling up from Newmarket to take on experienced handicappers. Gometra Ginty and Poet's Magic are in the latter category, as is La Feile. A Taste Of Honey has only won at Lingfield so far but Mystic Pearl won over this trip on Turf last year and Kitai failed to handle rain-softened ground in a Listed race on her final start last season, though finished last on her reappearance. WILD SIDE made all to land the odds at Yarmouth having just come up short on her return to action at Pontefract. She looks a little quirky but clearly has ability. Centrefold won stepped up to 7f at Wolverhampton while Star Guest is a rare runner here for Godolphin and has yet to finish out of the first two.
