Abounding gets the call over Dora Explorer, with Little Miss Wizzy and Whipcord worth a mention at least. Abounding is going the right way judged on her much improved effort when third to Babylon Sister at Lingfield. She seemed to appreciate the step up in trip on what was her first try on the Polytrack, and should at the very least uphold the form over Little Miss Wizzy who was back in fifth at the Surrey track. A bigger danger may well be Dora Explorer, a cheaply bought filly who shaped well when fifth at Goodwood on her introduction. Whipcord has had three outings already and hails from a stable full of decent youngsters. Any market support for the Williams newcomer Minnow would be interesting as well, but for the winner we return to Abounding.
