Cape Cay won a maiden at Chepstow in May but could only manage fourth back in handicap company last time. Zubaidah just missed out at Lingfield but that was over a mile and she attempts this trip for the first time while Taro Tywod was still beaten seven lengths when runner-up at Doncaster last week. Lady Charlie makes no appeal so PHYLLIS MAUD (NAP) gets the vote having won her maiden over track and trip last year and finishing second on her return to action at Nottingham earlier in the month.
