Eleven Fifty Nine won this 12 months ago for Anthony Honeyball having being placed previously in a Listed race at Sandown. That same contest could hold the key to this year's renewal as Molly's A Diva beat Carole's Spirit, Free Thinking, CENTASIA, Midnight Minx and Our Pollyanna. The winner was game in victory but David Pipe's mare could be the one to take out of the race as she was still a little green on only her third start but stayed on strongly inside the final furlong. If racing closer to the pace today, she could come out on top. Abigail Lynch and Legacy Gold are possible improvers while Keshi Pearl, Kayfleur and Taradrewe were all behind Carole's Spirit at Warwick in February and this may be too much too soon for Rathvawn Belle and The Pirate's Queen.
