Formscan By John O'Riordan - Runner-up in a Group 3 at Baden-Baden on her final start as a juvenile, LA GUAPISIMA can defy top-weight. Having her first start for trainer Gavin Cromwell, the French Listed winner sets a high standard in a race of this nature. Her presence at the head of the weights also means that the four towards the bottom are forced to race from out of the handicap. Given her apparent preference for soft ground, any rain that falls will be welcome. Shiota, who landed a competitive handicap at Naas recently, has to be respected despite her subsequent rise. Varshini and Empress Artemis are others to consider.
