It's difficult to have much confidence in any of these as Pink Lips seems to save her best for Yarmouth and was beaten only a short-head at that track last time. The token vote goes to RENOIR'S LADY, as she's been placed over 7f on the Polytrack the last twice and is preferred to Rapid Water, who scored over a mile at Kempton back in February. Chepstow winner Tooley Woods may figure and Do More Business is usually thereabouts at the finish without being good enough to get his head in front.
