Hardly the ideal getting-out stakes. Midnight Aurora slips further down the weights after a poor run at Newton Abbot while Artichoke Heart is probably improving. Mrs Davies also placed last time, at Perth, but has something to find with Wise Coco on the form book. SANTA ANNA travels over from County Down off the back of a string of consistent efforts in similar company. Caroline McCaldin’s filly deserves a change of luck but it would be no surprise to see Milan Of Crystal in the firing-line following her pipe-opener at Stratford and Flower Power is fit from the Flat.
