Verdict
Plenty of guesswork involved here with a big field of unraced fillies. Hesterya has several winning relatives and Frankie rides for his retainer. Nkosikazi could be one to note for future reference while Roger Varian runs two with Andrea Atzeni getting the leg-up on Contrive. Charlie Hills also has two entries and the yard took this 12 months ago. William Buick, who was in good form at Newmarket earlier this week, rides ALWAYS A DRAMA who is a half-sister to three winners including the useful Endless Drama, who also made a winning debut. She gets the nod providing there is no significant market support for any of the others from powerful yards.
