This looks trappy in that all have claims but also question marks of some sort or another. The choice is QUEEN OF CASH who scored with authority at Lingfield, looks suited by this trip and remains a possible improver after eight career starts. Hopefully, she can transfer improvement displayed last time to turf. Polar Annie came good last time out too but has been reassessed accordingly, whilst the handicapper also seems to have taken Wishformore into his grip. Malpas Missile continues to search for his decent juvenile form and Bakoura needs to improve, leaving Sakhee's Pearl as the main threat to the selection after a much better effort last time. She concedes weight all round but looks on a fair mark.
