Soft ground poses a question mark for WINDCRACK (7) who gives the impression she can handle it arriving on an upward curve. The Andrew Balding trained filly knuckled down well to prevail by a neck over 1m at Sandown and a 3lb rise may underestimate her ability. PHOENIX PASSION (3) handled testing conditions well when runner-up tackling 1m at Newbury. Brings previous course and distance winning form. Main threat. ZIGGY'S PHOENIX (6) did well to finish third behind a progressive filly at Ascot in September. Cannot be ruled out off an unchanged mark. RACINGBREAKS RYDER (2) also merits consideration.
