5/2

Zoffany filly is half-sister to smart sprinter Tabdeed and showed plenty when second of 8 in maiden at this C&D (soft) on debut 32 days ago, forcing an experienced rival to pull out all the stops. Should have more to offer and is much respected.

28/1

Cracksman filly from a classy staying family (half-sister to Dal Harraild and Dal Horrisgle). Looked badly in need of experience when fourth of 8 in maiden at Newbury (7f, heavy) on debut 15 days ago. Open to progress but perhaps will come into her own over further.

Forecasts

Britannica (1/1), Classic Puzzle (5/2), Agnes Grey (7/1), Quandary (10/1), Elusive Truth (14/1), O G Beachwear (22/1), Ubettabequick (25/1), Ladylingmoor (25/1), Dalrymple (28/1)

CLASSIC PUZZLE pulled clear with an experienced rival when runner-up over C&D on her debut last month and rates as the one to beat here with further progress almost a given. Expensive-yearling Britannica ran well at Newmarket last time and appeals as the biggest threat, with Agnes Grey best of the rest.
