Hestina ran well on her debut at Sandown and was a wide-margin winner over this trip on her second start at Beverley. The handicapper hasn't had much to work with and she could be well treated. Graceland was well beaten in lesser company last time while Novancia is best watched on her reappearance but Parnell's Dream will have benefited from her third at Doncaster and Ralph Beckett also runs the useful She Is No Lady with Ryan Moore in the saddle. Wavelet has yet to finish out of the frame but is making her Turf debut this afternoon. Star Rider ended last season with a victory at Newmarket but needs further nowadays. ELYSIAN FIELDS wouldn't want any rain and hasn't been seen since July but she won on her reappearance last year and was very progressive after – she might be a bit of value in an open race.
