The form horses, SUBA and Kindest, make most appeal with Repetischa best of the rest. The vote goes the way of the Luca Cumani trained Suba who showed a willing attitude to share the spoils at Nottingham at the start of June. A 4lb rise is fair and the form solid enough and she looks capable of following up in this company. Kindest has done well since handicapping with cut in the ground so wouldn't want conditions to dry out too much but she may also have found the heavy going more testing than ideal last time and she should continue to progress. Repetischa moves into the handicap ranks following some mixed efforts in maidens but the best of those performances brings her firmly into play from her initial mark. There's no obvious reason for At A Great Rate to reverse the form with Suba but So Blissful didn't enjoy much luck in running last time and has to be feared now that she's been campaigned at a more realistic level but we'll still take Suba to prevail.
