Verdict

ESHA (8) returned to the winners' stall over this track and trip last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Ready to peak now third run back from the spell and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky alley to be playing a major role in the outcome. FORGOTTEN SPIRIT (12) is a consistent conveyance who has hit the top-four in eight of her past nine outings and rarely puts in a poor one. Looms as the main danger. GET READY LASS (11) has placed three of five over this course and distance and is usually thereabouts. Top-three aspirations. The well-related ANGEL LADDER (5) (half to G3 winner The Novelist) resumes here but showed enough when last in work to warrant consideration in a race like this. Can feature from the inside marble while fresh.
