Touch The Clouds will find this tougher than the seller he won at Leicester recently while Kirtling Belle has gone backwards since making a promising debut at Redcar. Stoney Quine has also failed to build on an earlier second at Hamilton albeit in better company than this and RESIST is also dropped in class. Tobias Coles' filly never threatened the winner Zalzilah when third on her handicap debut at Bath but the latter has subsequently won again so the form looks solid enough. She gets the vote with the remaining pair looking likely to struggle.
