Luca Cumani sent out last year's winner and FARANDINE looks to have every chance this time round. Placed in both starts to date, she finished behind a subsequent winner when third at Kempton last time and may have the edge on Ejayteekay. The latter has also been thereabouts in both her starts though the likes of White Poppy and Auntie Barber may improve past her. Wall Of Light is related to several winners including smart duo The Cheka and Wall Of Sound while Izmir is a half-sister to five winners and is another newcomer to note.
