In depth
Verdict
Robinia Parkes let herself down by racing too freely at Windsor last time, but her debut win here was a good performance and she should have the beating of Bella Bianca on that form. The latter was well behind her at Newbury and now reopposes on 5lb worse terms. The pick of the newcomers could be Alan Berry's Grey Clouds, but Robinia Parkes gets a confident vote to record her second victory.
