Trent has been beaten at short odds in all three starts over the track and trip and was disappointing when fading inside the final furlong last time. CHICAGO LIGHTENING was only beaten a length behind the long odds-on Brostaig over 6f in November and, though the runner-up let the form down on Wednesday Johnny Murtagh's filly can get off the mark. Sister Bridget was always up with the pace and kept on nicely three weeks ago and normal progress should see her in the firing-line. Guess is bred for the job and is a newcomer to keep an eye on while The Churchill Lad would be one to keep on the right side if getting a run.
