Nargys is interesting dropping back in trip in a first-time visor but how she'll take to either of those changes is anybody's guess. Another three-year-old, MARCH, gets the speculative vote as she improves with every start and had previous winner City Girl behind when third in a Group 3 sprint at York last month. Minalisa went close to landing a Listed event at Naas on her latest outing and has claims along with Haydock winner Artistic Jewel. The latter finished third to Mince in this contest last year and is preferred to Galician but the likes of Elusive Flame and Enrol have something to find on today's terms.
