Starparty disappointed on soft ground on her debut as a juvenile and may be best watched racing on it for the first time since then today with preference for Sister Maria, who gets the vote ahead of Vale de Lobo. The last mentioned handles some cut in the ground and has to be respected but may not want the ground as testing as it is going to be so may be best watched. Daring Affair looks to be in the grip of the handicapper at present and of more interest may be the less exposed Doubly Guest, who has dropped to a fair mark. Uig is capable but inconsistent and preference is for recent Windsor winner Sister Maria, who is taken to defy the 6lb rise for her success there.
