Verdict

Several unexposed types in this contest, with MY SILVER LINING getting marginal preference for the in-form Emma Lavelle. Her strength at the finish allowed her to brush aside subsequent Grade 2 runner-up Teddy Blue last time and she may be underestimated by an opening mark of 110. Fontwell-winner Hititi and handicap-debutant Limetree Boy also look like potential improvers and hold strong claims.

  1. MY SILVER LINING (IRE)
  2. HITITI (FR)
  3. LIMETREE BOY (IRE)
