Verdict

Alexandrakollontai won this last year but it’s hard to envisage a repeat on current form. Classic Charm has won twice on soft going at Nottingham this year and carries a penalty for her latest success so connections will be hoping the heavens open. ARLETTA STAR (NAP) looked a filly going places when striding clear at Chester 12 days ago. The second has already franked the form and Tim Easterby’s three-year-old can follow up. Miss Sheridan is a course and distance winner and has place claims again and This Girl has eased in the weights again. Hunterwali may be the pick of the remainder.
