Verdict
A few of these are starting to look exposed but that's not the case with Passionada, who was only beaten a head on debut at Newcastle, nor TRIOOMPH. James Given's filly showed plenty of speed when third over 6f at Redcar so it's no surprise to see her dropped back in distance and she can get off the mark today. Royal Trix was a close-up third at Bath last time and should also make her presence felt while Archers Prize is capable of improving on his fifth at Nottingham, but Dora's Sister hasn't been seen since disappointing when favourite at Ripon in April and Pitt Rivers has had plenty of chances.
