Verdict
Marysienka has been found a good opportunity to get off the mark, and is taken to score here with Self Belief and Brain Washed the biggest dangers. John Balding's filly had some decent juvenile form for Richard Hannon last year and put up her best performance for her new yard when third to the progressive Wunderbra at Windsor last time, despite not getting the clearest of runs. This looks a softer race and she should be able to take advantage. Of the rest, Harrisons Flyer, from the in-form Richard Fahey stable, and the lightly-raced Song Koi, can be given a chance, as can Brain Washed. Tim Easterby's filly was a good runner-up over six furlongs here in June, but has been a little disappointing in her two subsequent starts. Self Belief has some fair juvenile form last year and although she showed little on her first start for her new yard in May, she cannot be totally ruled out, but Marysienka looks to be the safest choice here.
