Several of these are looking to put poor latest runs behind them including Saucy Minx, who ran well over 7f here before a below par effort at Ascot. Fruit Pastille and Imshivalla were both placed on their penultimate starts while the latter's stablemate Home Cummins has her first start of the year. Previous winners Alexandrakollontai and Subtle Knife failed to cope in this grade last time and Zaaneh will need to step up on her recent fourth at Brighton so a tentative vote goes to VOLUNTEER POINT. She's taken to go one better having finished well ahead of Assault On Rome when second at Pontefract last time.
