IBELIEVEICANFLY proved a let down here last time but she was surrounded by next-time-out winners when second over C&D the time before so she's worth another chance with Ryan Moore keeping the faith. Her stablemate Speckles was a big eye-catcher in a C&D maiden 3 weeks ago so is respected, while Suomenlinna and Miss Hong Kong are a couple of interesting newcomers.
