Verdict

HIGHLAND MARY is proven under soft conditions so has plenty going for her here if the rain arrives, and ought to take plenty of beating. Time For Wine did better at Windsor and even allowing for the fact she may have had the best of the ground, should give the selection something to think about. Awsaaf and newcomer Santorini Sun both make a bit of appeal for the places.
