Aleatrix (1/3), Without Prejudice (3/1), Golden Island (20/1), La Mariposa (28/1)

Preference is for ALEATRIX who made a promising start when scoring in good style in a Salisbury maiden last month. She is taken to build on that first experience and make it 2 from 2, though Without Prejudice boasts an excellent pedigree and isn't taken lightly on debut.
