William Haggas trained the winner of this last year and will be hoping that Meeting Waters, possibly unlucky when a beaten favourite at Lingfield last month, can repeat the trick. But this looks a competitive fillies' handicap in which all six runners have some sort of chance. KHATIBA sports cheekpieces for the first time but hasn't done a lot wrong in her last couple of runs and won over this longer trip on the Polytrack in February. Roger Varian's charge gets the nod ahead of Newmarket runner-up Artistic Charm and La Tinta Bay. Lady Frances is preferred to Serenity Spa of the other pair.
