Grandma's Girl is the pick in a very open seller, Noorain and Samson Quest are also expected to go well. Rae Guest's filly has been tiring at the end of her races and so this drop back to seven furlongs looks ideal. She put in two good performances in better company over this trip last year and looks to be the safest option here. Noorain is also stepping back in distance after showing improved form to chase home Rem Time at Wolverhampton. Another big showing can be expected. Samson Quest contested a much better race at Lingfield last time, and although well held in third, should go close in the lesser company. Ten Cents may do best of the others, but Grandma's Girl should be suited by ground and trip today and gets our vote.
