Verdict
International Girl is a regular here but has only won once at the track so far. Like top weight Farhh To Shy, she’s a five-year-old and all of the recent winners of this have been younger. Royal Dress won over this trip at Haydock before finishing fourth over a mile at Goodwood but Sophia's Starlight’s recent good form has come over 6f, though she does stay this trip. Eximious has been lightly raced and has started favourite in two of her three runs this year while Unequal Love is on a roll. She will need to defy a further 5lb rise to complete the four-timer but that isn’t impossible. NIGIRI has a similar task and is also making giant strides. She’s beaten older fillies at Haydock the last twice with something to spare and wouldn’t be inconvenienced should the forecast rains arrive. Newmarket winner Naomi Lapaglia may be the pick of the remainder.
