Verdict
A fillies' handicap closes the card and we will side with QUIRINA to get the better of Princess Taylor and Summers Lease. The selection has looked a really progressive filly this season and she can be forgiven a disappointing effort at Goodwood last time as she clearly didn't handle the soft ground. She returns to her favoured fast ground here and she should be hard to beat. Princess Taylor found plenty for pressure last time out at Newmarket over 1m in a race won by Oat Cuisine. She looked that day as though she could be worth a try over further, and as she is stepped up in trip today she has to be considered. Summers Lease won well on her debut at Nottingham and Michael Bell's filly is sure to improve so she should be capable of getting involved in the shake-up. Honorable Love has won over this course and distance and she could go well at a price, but Quirina had a valid excuse last time and she can resume winning ways here.
