Finished just behind Power Of Pearls when ninth last month in a handicap; likes this combination of C&D; she should go close as finished third two months ago and the handicapper has given her a chance.

Not disgraced in fifth (Vaal) last month in an apprentice handicap; has won over C&D; this just her second run in a handicap; gets an age allowance; makes limited appeal.

Verdict
Quiet Winter should put up plenty of resistance while Executrix is interesting. But MISTY METAL can land this. She is bidding for her fourth course success.
