In depth
Verdict
Both Rial and Top of The Bank take a huge drop in class for this. The latter is rated 8lb higher than Denis Quinn's filly but is conceding 9lb and lacks a recent run. Pontefract fourth SCIARRA (NAP) can improve past both, however, as she has a nice pedigree and will know more today. The Qatar Racing filly is also preferred to Diamond Avalanche as well as Cape Crusader and Highway Robber.
