None of these made the frame last time and solid form looks thin on the ground. However, MISS BELLA BRAND was last seen contesting a competitive Ascot sprint and not disgraced finishing in mid-division. A dual scorer on Turf over this trip last season, her mark of 64 feels manageable. Conditions will suit and she's preferred to Come On Girl. The latter failed to make the winner's circle during her winter campaign but went close more than once and also appeals as being fairly treated with De Sousa booked. It would not surprise to see Soller Bay return to form and she's shortlisted along with Silent Flame, to whom similar comments apply.
