A tricky fillies handicap in which La Coveta and Fantasy Princess are, arguably, the most interesting runners but both have a little to prove and we're going to side with The Jostler. The selection will appreciate the return to racing against her own sex and the drop in grade having struggled in a York handicap last time. Her penultimate run at Leicester reads well enough and she's feasibly treated. Secret Night is pretty consistent but struggles to win, Talk Of Saafend and Debonnaire have to put poor runs behind them and Cinerama has yet to display any signs of ability. Love On Sight has joined a shrewd yard and is interestingly handicapped at present whilst Leading Edge and Danseuse Volante ran well enough last time to make the short-list. Fantasy Princess did well to beat a fair sort on her sole start but has been absent since, La Coveta beat the smart Dar Re Mi into second when landing her maiden but weakened tamely on their return. They're clearly of interest on the form of their maiden wins but The Jostler appeals as a solid alternative.
