LARCHILL LASS was beaten by less distance than she gave away at the start when second over this course and distance 11 days ago and, with that debut run likely to have taught her plenty, the Karl Burke-trained filly can go one better now. Call Me Harswell was third that day and has to enter calculations, while Stat Goddess (fourth) also reopposes and can do better.
Prediction : 1st Larchill Lass 2nd Call Me Harswell 3rd Stat Goddess

BRUMMELL was second to a reliable yardstick on the all-weather last month and, given that performance created the impression there is plenty for trainer Julie Camacho to work with, the son of Dandy Man appears a solid option off the same mark here. Willolarupi also ran well on his return to action on similar ground conditions at Catterick 12 days ago and is notable off 1lb lower. The betting can guide as far as seasonal debutants Mecca's Duchess and La La Lucrative are concerned.
Prediction : 1st Brummell 2nd Willolarupi 3rd Meccas Duchess

Kindest Nation won with a good deal in hand at Southwell in March and makes her turf/handicap debut from a competitive rating, so has to be high on the shortlist. However, PRINCESS ALEX kept on to score in an eye-catching manner at Haydock nine days ago and a 5lb higher mark could still underestimate this daughter of Dark Angel. Mysteryofthesands, who is a potential improver, completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Princess Alex 2nd Kindest Nation 3rd Mysteryofthesands

ARDBRACCAN appeared to be revitalised by the combination of a 189-day layoff and a return to turf when scoring in ready fashion at Nottingham last month. A 6lb rise in the ratings looks more than workable for Mick Appleby's mare and she's taken to follow up. The biggest threat may emerge from the hat-trick seeking Do I Dream, who is sure to prove popular in her current heart, while fellow in-form rivals Hostelry and Willow Baby aren't easily discounted either.
Prediction : 1st Ardbraccan 2nd Do I Dream 3rd Hostelry

SWATCH justified strong support in the market when landing the spoils at Bath last week. The Time Test gelding should cope with this quick turnaround and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him from completing a double. Doncaster runner-up Mister Sox was collared at the winning post on that occasion and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Ey Up Its Jazz, who should appreciate a return to this distance.
Prediction : 1st Swatch 2nd Mister Sox 3rd Ey Up Its Jazz

SHE'S GOT BOTTLE went in by just under a length over a mile at Pontefract last week and she only has a 5lb penalty to carry, which is unlikely to be enough to prevent her from following up. The main threat might be Calcutta Dream, who was successful at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start and is only 2lb higher, while Distinction competes off his last winning mark and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Shes Got Bottle 2nd Calcutta Dream 3rd Distinction

Patronage had Miss Galiway (seventh) behind when finishing a never-nearer fourth at Yarmouth on his latest outing and he is an interesting contender on his first attempt at this distance off 1lb lower. However, a chance can be taken on SPARTAN WARRIOR, who was well-held at Windsor last month but he was dropped 2lb for that effort and he now sports first-time cheekpieces. With Kevin Stott booked, he is worth another chance, while Pearl Sands could also get into contention in a weak contest.
Prediction : 1st Spartan Warrior 2nd Patronage 3rd Pearl Sands
