An intriguing maiden with the stables of Barry Hills, Henry Cecil, Ben Hanbury and Ed Dunlop all represented. With the last mentioned still to hit top form this season Alchemist Master is probably best watched for the time being. The Barry Hills-trained Caiova would probably prefer more cut in the ground and, although some way behind the colt at Newbury last time, Henry Cecil's Granadilla can reasonably be expected to run better on the prevailing fast ground. Ben Hanbury's Rashiqa makes most appeal though. Second in each of her two starts, most notably at York last month, the daughter of Diesis will be a popular choice to go one better.
