With the ground sure to be testing, Circle Of Love is taken to sluice home at the expense of Sister Maria, with Sell Out, Milliegait and Gull Wing making for an interesting contest. Circle Of Love at least proved she likes to get her toe in when bolting up in rain-softened conditions at Pontefract at the start of the month. The form may be open to question admittedly, but the daughter of Sakhee is open to plenty of improvement, and the fact that John Dunlop lets her take her chance in this company speaks volumes. Sister Maria did not beat much at Windsor, but did it well and is proven in handicap company. She too will like the ground and is a major threat. Sell Out also handled soft ground when scoring at Newbury and cannot be overlooked, while Milliegait is going the right way and Gull Wing meets Sell Out on 4lb better terms than at Newbury so should make a race of it with that rival. However, for the winner we return to Circle Of Love.
