Verdict
A couple of thoroughly-unexposed types head the weights in this. Casimiro won easily on debut at Lingfield in April but KHAMAARY maintained her unbeaten record with a wide-margin victory in a handicap at Redcar and the second went close at Ripon earlier this week. She will have to step into pattern company if completing her hat-trick but looks a better bet than stablemate Lonely The Brave. York third Starlight Romance is preferred to Vona of the two Fahey runners with Devil's Bridge and Itsakindamagic looking the pick of the remainder.
