Quite a few of these have shown plenty of ability and we will side with Dillay Brook, Iron Maid and Resonance may provide most danger. . Dillay Brook looked in need of a recent run at Wincanton but is better judged on her previous run in May when chasing home Lady Of Scarvagh. That was in a handicap off a rating of 92 and a repeat effort should be good enough in this company. Oliver Sherwood has his string in fine form and the lightly raced Iron Maid should be in the shake up if none the worse for her recent fall. However a bigger threat to the selection could come from Resonance who has put in some solid efforts recently. Those were selling races but this is no better and she should play her part. River Tigris has shown very little but is from a top yard in form and should be watched closely in the betting. So not the strongest of contests and Dillay Brook could be up to the task.
