HESTERYA gets the tentative vote in a highly competitive looking get out stakes. Richard Hannon's filly has twice gone for plenty at the sales and the fact Dettori is booked is likely significant. Solar Gold and Always A Drama represent last year's winning trainer and with the yard in such good form, they're the two to look out for in the market with narrow preference for the latter.
