The form of the Warwick maiden in which ILARY DE L'ECU was a good fourth last spring is working out well and she is appealing now venturing down the handicap route. Next on the list is Sawpit Sienna, who landed this race 12 months ago and she shaped as though coming back to the boil here last time. Damask could be a threat if responding well to the new headgear, while handicap-debutantes Opticality and Selkirk Grace are both worth a second look.
