Some powerful yards have runners in this and Nicky Henderson’s Tweed Skirt finished ahead of Swincombe Fleat, Step To The Top and Code Name Lise when third in a Listed race at Sandown last month, though Nico de Boinville prefers the Newbury winner Mind Sunday. Miss Lamb won her first two starts but she was left trailing by EILEENDOVER at Market Rasen last time. As befits a daughter of Canford Cliffs out of an Oasis Dream mare, Pam Sly’s filly has a devastating turn of foot and can extend her unbeaten record. Elle Est Belle ran a cracker behind market principals Sir Gerhard and Kilcruit in the Champion Bumper and should be thereabouts again if a hard race hasn’t left its mark. Wheres Maud Gone boasts a decent level of form and looks best of the rest.
