Dona Alba showed great determination to win last time and can follow up this afternoon at the main expense of Double Attack and Jazz Jam. John Dunlop's charge fought on well to get the better of Crying Aloud in competitive maiden at Folkestone and hasn't been harshly treated for her handicap debut. Most of Dunlop's juveniles improve with racing so there should be plenty more to come. Double Attack returned to form last time out when stepped up to this trip and another big run can be expected. Meanwhile Jazz Jam has run to a similar level in all three races to date and doesn't look to badly treated for her first run in a nursery. Stable companion Pantheirii has also shaped with promise and is another to consider for the places, however Dona Alba has the winning form and more scope for improvement so she gets the nod.
