A case can be made for most of these runners. Last-start course-and-distance winners LADY SPRINGFIELD, LICKETY SPLIT and PRINCESS OF BAYEUX ought to remain competitive off their current marks. The latter is 1kg worse off with PLUM PUDDING who should get closer on these terms, while HELIOTROPE ran well against male opposition last time and will fare better back against her own sex. However, a chance is taken on class-dropper ENCHANTING CHOICE who was a fast-finishing 3rd over 1400m on her reappearance. She will find this longer trip more to her liking off an unchanged mark.
