Show Compassion opened her account with a victory over 6f here a fortnight ago but VALENTINE BLUES is preferred over today’s distance. The latter returns from an absence but that shouldn’t be a problem as she raced only twice last year and scored over track and trip on both occasions. Storm Melody won on the Polytrack back in March and is closely matched with Sparked while Speed Dial Baileys and Autumn Lights have more scope than most.
