Verdict

Minalisa made a winning start over this trip on soft ground at Warwick and will have improved for the experience. It's difficult to know what to make of that form, however, and she's taking on more battle-hardened rivals here. DISCRESSION came up against an in-form filly at Ayr last month and the way she was staying on suggests this stiffer track will be in her favour. Kevin Ryan's charge can go one better though Saloomy is improving and preferred to Sunley Pride, who is probably better over another furlong.
