HARVANNA stepped up plenty on her reappearance when finishing a good fifth in a much deeper handicap at York (6f) 4 weeks ago and, with this slight drop back in trip promising to suit, Mick Appleby's filly is fancied to make a bold bid from the plum draw. Rosenpur, Abbey Heights and Maharajas Express head up the dangers.

  1. HARVANNA
  2. ROSENPUR (GER)
  3. ABBEY HEIGHTS
