Mitty's Smile represents last year’s winning yard and beat the re-opposing Miss Thoughtful when successful over track and trip last time. But Waddat is less exposed having landed a novices’ race at Wolverhampton last month and makes more appeal. DEPOSE also has a shout having refused to settle early in the race when starting favourite over 7f here recently. Narrowly beaten over course and distance before that, Hugo Palmer’s filly gets another chance now handicapping. Honore Daumier and Quaint are others to note handicapping for the first time but River Cam looks no nearer winning.
