Verdict
Jaaryah had some decent two-year-old form but has plenty to prove now after a couple of disappointing efforts this year but Reyamour is going the right way. The winning hurdler opened her account on the Flat at Salisbury last time and should be in the shake-up while Sugar Hiccup ran her usual solid race at Haydock last month and could make the frame again. ELIZABETH COFFEE races in the same colours as the latter and the Irish import ran a much better race when third over 1m2f here a fortnight ago. A winner over today's longer distance at Dundalk, she's fancied to get off the mark for Ian Williams in this.
