The two fillies in this contest look amongst the most interesting with HARBOUR GREY taken to back up her Doncaster effort last time. Starlight Romance is the other filly and the form of her most recent win has been franked since. Chessman was well backed last time and only narrowly defeated, he should go well for last year's winning trainer.
