A tricky puzzle to unravel but Last Surprise will have her supporters as she seeks a first victory on Turf with her stable in cracking form. Stormy Girl will find this easier than the Group 3 she contested at Doncaster while Mountain Brave remains in good form and is likely to be in the firing-line. The latter’s stablemate Auchterarder has won three of her five starts and appears to go well fresh but a four-year-old has won the last two renewals and GALE FORCE MAYA has progressed again since last year and has run well in both previous starts over this stiff 6f.
