A very competitive Listed race for fillies to open the card but Hathrah gets our vote ahead of a number of interesting maiden winners. The selection beat all bar Kinnaird in a decent renewal of the May Hill at Doncaster last time and that form sets the standard here. Dowager was fourth in the Oh So Sharp Stakes, which was a good run, while Magical Mimi and Kunda have solid form but it would be a little disappointing if others were not stronger today. Betty Stogs caused a surprise when winning at Windsor on her debut but that could have been a fair race and she should be capable of more. My Personal Space, Secret Charm, North Sea and Torcross all come here as maiden winners and could be open to any amount of improvement but, overall, we'll stick with proven form and side with Hathrah.
