Nabah was highly tried last year but well beaten in a maiden at Doncaster on her reappearance. Izzi Top landed the odds at Windsor last month, however, and should improve further while Primevere can build on her debut win at Kempton in October. They are preferred to Dorcas Lane, who is starting to look exposed, and Charleston Lady who is having her first race on turf today. Cinta and Hidden Valley have something to prove in this grade but WHEY SAUCE could be a different proposition this year. Peter Chapple-Hyam's grey is related to some smart performers in the States and showed definite signs of ability in two starts last year. She can reverse course running with Nabah in the autumn on this quicker surface.
