Recent winning form is absent here but TILSWORTH ROSE has been getting closest and she gets the vote today after back-to-back seconds coming into this. Others with live chances include Distant Applause who has run well the last twice over this trip (possibly didn't stay 7f in-between), Es Que Magic who has twice been collared late over 7f and downgrade Maid Millie.
