Verdict
Ruby Yeats won this in 2020 and was successful back here a fortnight ago. But she’d earlier fallen victim to ON MY COMMAND when the latter scored over course and distance in December and Harry Fry’s charge makes most appeal back at this level having struggled in a Listed handicap last time. Sainte Doctor represents last year’s winning yard and has a decent shout having finished runner-up in both starts since returning to action while Credo is a maiden winner and preferred to Brown Bullet of the remaining pair.
