An interesting little contest which was won by subsequent Group 1 winner Ribbons in 2013. Her trainer James Fanshawe runs ZEST, who was far from disgraced when fifth in a hot handicap at Ascot on her latest start and is a pound lower here. She could be the value as Mukaabra is already a course and distance winner and will be fancied to extend her unbeaten record. Golden Stunner wasn't winning out of turn at Nottingham and Rostova still has scope and may have needed her comeback at Ascot when just behind the selection. Winter Rose has proved best on Polytrack so far.
