Race Tip

Three-year-olds have won seven of the last ten renewals and it's no surprise to see them make up the majority of the nineteen-strong field. SOPHIA'S STARLIGHT (4) has been kept busy in recent months but seems to thrive on her racing. It's interesting connections are opting to roll the dice just five days on from her success in the Great St Wilfred at Ripon but it's a decision that may pay off. The unexposed UNEQUAL LOVE (7) looked like a nice prospect when winning snugly at Haydock and fits into the could-be-anything category at this stage. Fellow last-start Haydock scorer NIGIRI (18) tackles different conditions here but cannot be left out of the equation for a stable in flying form. Others to note from an each-way angle are ROYAL DRESS (8) and NAOMI LAPAGLIA (14).
