Geordie Iris hasn't progressed as expected after her success over 1m1f at Wolverhampton in September and faded disappointingly over a mile at Lingfield last time. However, her overall form suggests she must be in the firing line though the vote goes to ROI DU BOEUF, who won a Wolverhampton handicap under Alice Haynes last week and is probably still on the upgrade. Sheila's Star completed a 1m1f double at Wolverhampton in November and continues in good form though just lacking the class of the selection. She should go well though Indian Wish may prove a bigger threat as she found 1m4f much too far last time but has no problems with today's trip.
