Fateful Attraction may not have beaten a great deal when successful at Kempton last week but she does not look to have a great deal to beat here either and Ian Wood's filly is taken to defy the 6lb penalty for that success, getting the vote ahead of Siena Star and Casablanca Minx. The last mentioned has been running consistently well of late and should again be thereabouts but may just need some help from the handicapper. Barry Island ran better at Kempton last time but is proving to be hard to win with, while Alfie Tupper has slipped to a fair mark but may be better over slightly shorter. Lilac Moon is less exposed than most of these and is another worthy of a mention, while Siena Star has been given a chance by the handicapper and could be of interest. Preference though is for Fateful Attraction who is taken to give weight and a beating away to her rivals.
