The Cola Kid has more than two lengths to find with BAMA LAMA on Chepstow running last month and is only a pound better off. Rod Millman’s filly may have found the going too testing when weakening inside the final furlong at Ffos Las two weeks ago. Rhubarb is often placed but rarely wins but Arlecchino's Gift goes well here and Tilsworth Ony Ta has been knocking on the door. Destiny's Spirit could also figure but Lion Ring returns from a break
