Washango has shown enough in two starts to date to suggest that a win is imminent and so Sean Lycett's five-year-old gets the vote ahead of Kerry's Girl, Over Sixty, and Sweet Robinia. The market will help in this 'Mares Only' contest but Washango has arguably the best form on offer. She wasn't beaten far on her debut and then ran well on quicker ground next time up. With this surface likely to suit more, she is taken to reward those backers who keep the faith. Over Sixty represents Alan King who has his stable in top form and only beaten by a head on her debut at Huntingdon, she should go close with improvement certainly possible. Sweet Robinia ran with promise on her Fakenham debut, only tiring late on and likely to have improved physically and mentally for that debut she should go well. Chilla Chilla and Just Olive are just a couple of newcomers to be wary of, however Kerry's Girl may prove the biggest threat. Representing the powerful Paul Nicholls team, this well-related filly should get competitive on this racecourse debut. To conclude, the market will help, but it is Washango who is taken to score.
