In depth
Verdict
It has to be a worry that Shesastar has barely raised a gallop in three runs this year but she's 6lb lower than when scoring at Doncaster last summer and usually takes on stronger opposition. Ray of Joy has spent most of her career racing over sprint distances and has also been out of form but POISSON D'OR was favourite when a close third at Newmarket last month and can race off the same mark here - she should recoup losses.
