Verdict
Kerrera has been well beaten whenever she's attempted this trip and Epaneema hasn't proved she stays this far. Aria Rose is a 19-race maiden with no form over the distance while the three-year-old Princess Siyouni was beaten 30 lengths into third at Southwell. JAWSHAN is still a maiden after 21 starts but has run the occasional decent race in better company. This won't take much winning and, with both trainer and jockey in form, he gets a tentative vote.
