The most appealing of these is WHENTHEPENNYDROPS, who held every chance when falling at the second-last in a Southwell handicap 2 weeks ago and she will surely go close off the same mark here, provided her confidence hasn't been dented by that tumble. Jikala's stamina has to be taken on trust but she appears to be on the up judged on her Hereford success and, armed with a handy 4-y-o weight allowance now handicapping, a bold show could be on the way. Mrs Kinsella is best of the rest.
