Cosmopolitan Girl will be more at home back in this lower grade but was runner-up to MIDNIGHT MALIBU (NAP) in this race last year and is worse off today. The latter gave notice of another bold bid with last week’s second at Haydock and Tim Easterby’s filly get the nod. Jersey Breeze, Rose Berry and Intense Romance all won their penultimate starts and the latter was beaten only a head at Carlisle last time but Justice Lady may prove a bigger threat having won a shade more cosily than the winning margin suggests at Doncaster three weeks ago.
