A similar contest to the preceding race on the card in the respect that there are easier opportunities later on in the card to find winners. However, the logical place to start in this race would be with That's Not Me who is entitled to come on plenty from her seasonal reappearance effort when runner-up to an impressive winner. After running creditably in defeat in big-field handicaps the last twice, Sabrina Fairchild must also be considered as one of the leading players. The best option looks to be BALADIYA though who is bidding for the hat-trick after scoring at the Curragh last time out. Off 4lb higher, the handicapper has given her a real chance to notch her second C&D win.
