Formscan  - Richard Fahey won the 2021 edition of this race with a similar type to LILY PEARL and this daughter of Ardad looks the most logical option after her promising fourth-placed finish over C&D on her debut last month. There's A Chance also created a favourable impression on her racecourse bow at Thirsk and cannot be ruled out given she had a legitimate excuse at Carlisle most recently, having stumbled at the start. Just A Girl and Westend Music are interesting newcomers for the shortlist.
