A competitive field goes to post for this fillies' handicap and Lady Protector, Come Away With Me, I Wish and Blonde En Blonde look to be the principles and the vote is given to Lady Protector. The selection ran well in a slightly better race than this at Doncaster last time behind Frascati, and a reproduction of that effort should suffice here. Come Away With Me rates the main danger on her recent second behind Princess Galadriel. She is a lightly-raced filly who is open to plenty of improvement and although this is her most difficult assignment to date she should go well. I Wish is another worth considering and she is in decent form at present, but she needs everything to fall right if she is to get her head in front and she will be hoping the rain stays away as she is best on a fast surface. Blonde En Blonde ran well enough at Ayr last time but was found wanting when it mattered and she seemed a little reluctant to put her head in front, so for that reason she is opposed. This is a tricky race for punters to call and we will put forward Lady Protector as the one they all have to beat.
