It is hard to escape the claims of KUPATANA. She did plenty wrong last time at Lingfield but still managed to come away with victory on her second trip to the racetrack. A hood is applied now in a bid to help her settle and, if she does that, this looks a winnable chance for her again. Dinos Benefit has joined a leading yard after showing promise at Wincanton and is feared most ahead of Kestrel Valley.
