My Virtue (9/4), Mistral Blue (10/3), Darcy's Glance (9/2), Hola Hermosa (6/1), Portobello Girl (7/1), Briery Bee (10/1), Jackie Can (18/1), Electric Annie (28/1)

MISTRAL BLUE turned in her best effort of the season from an easing mark when fourth over C&D just over a fortnight ago and a reproduction of that form may well suffice. My Virtue was value for extra when landing a Southwell handicap in May and has to be respected in her follow-up bid given she's clearly capable fresh. Jackie Can may prove best of the rest.
