Catwilldo won this a year ago and also scored from this mark in April and her recent runs have been over 6f which isn't her best trip. Times In Anatefka was beaten a length a year ago and arrives in superb form having only just failed to hold Tsar Paul, who was receiving 12lb, over 6f last time. She had Hi Empress a head behind when successful over this trip in November and should confirm the form on these terms. Ability N Delivery has also finished behind Adrian Joyce's mare recently and looks held but the one to take out of those efforts is ACROLEINA. Jane Foley's lightly-raced filly didn't get the best of runs in the second of those events in November and from her lowly mark can gain her first success. Shinyhappyjohn is still a maiden and is better on Turf while Pivy's Pride has never raced at a trip below 7f so this is a big drop.
