Verdict

A tricky maiden as one of the newcomers won't have to be anything special to win this. Aureolin Gulf is related to winners on the all-weather and preferred to stablemate and fellow debutant Lord Paget, while Diamondsinhereyes is a half-sister to winners in Italy. However, another chance is given to PLACE THAT FACE who just failed when favourite at Lingfield three weeks ago and can go one better back over 6f today. Sannibel has also gone close on more than one occasion and makes most appeal of the remainder.
