Mise En Rose still looked in need of experience when scoring at Kempton but did it nicely and should carry her big weight with distinction. Peru improved for stepping up to this trip on soft ground at Haydock and she'll be difficult to keep out of the frame while Sepal, who started favourite on her debut at Newmarket, showed that the confidence wasn't misplaced when scoring at Leicester. Boutan's victory at Brighton was on heavy ground but the vote goes to RIOCA, who was an easy winner over this trip at Ffos Las and comes here with a 6lb penalty.
