Marie Josephe (9/4), Cotinga (5/2), Italian Heiress (4/1), Rayaa (4/1), Curlew River (5/1), Meshaykh (6/1), Brief Visit (10/1), Della Valle (25/1), Riviere Argentee (33/1)
Fillies' handicaps are rarely easy to solve and this race is no exception. Bottom weight Della Vale would have claims on her Doncaster second, but she flopped last time and has something to prove. Rayaa's recent C&D display puts her firmly in the picture, while Marie Josephe is likely to set the pace and could be difficult to peg back. Meshaykh could improve over this longer trip and it would be no surprise to see Curlew River bounce back following a short break, but the one which catches the eye is COTINGA, who shaped with great promise on her reappearance run over C&D and probably disliked the sharp track when well beaten behind a rapidly-improving sort at Chester last time. Italian Heiress can improve and looks best of the rest.
