In depth
Verdict
This is tricky as Star of Rohm has the best proven form but is the most exposed and having his first start since October. Silca's Dream is also returning from a lay-off but has shown early pace in a couple of placed efforts on Turf. Nellie Bly has the most recent form when a well-beaten fourth at Wolverhampton but it won't be the first time one from her yard has shown a big improvement with a debut run to build on. However, SIBAYA's dam landed a hat-trick of sprints for Roger Charlton and a chance is taken she's good enough to score at the first time of asking, although some support in the betting would boost confidence.
