Verdict
Kryena is one of the more consistent performers here and she can gain a deserved first victory, Almanshood and Mollyputthekettleon could be the main rivals. Kryena had shown plenty of promise on the turf before her all-weather debut last time. It came over course and distance and she finished a creditable fourth behind Midnight Lace off a mark of of 65. None of the others can boast that sort of recent form and she looks the best option today. Almanshood boasts a second spot behind Dubai Venture back in May but hasn't really progressed since. He didn't do too badly on his all-weather debut at Lingfield last week and he may be capable of some improvement. Mollyputtheketleon ran here best race for some time when a close up fifth behind Celtique over course and distance. She may make the frame at decent odds. Blueberry Tart may prove best of the others, but on this occasion we will side with Kryena.
