Plenty of guesswork involved with a field of unexposed three-year-old fillies to consider. Beach Babe bids for her hat-trick after winning here and at Warwick last time but has to defy a 7lb hike, while Onlyfoalsandhorses found a 4lb rise in the weights beyond her last time after winning over 7f at this track. Dragonera, Miss Villefranche and Silver Show are all capable of improvement on their seasonal debuts, but the vote goes to CRYSTAL SKY. Her latest four length defeat by Zain Al Boldan at Folkestone looked nothing special until the latter ran away with the Listed Oaks trial at Lingfield on Saturday and Andrew Haynes' filly gets the vote here.
