Volcanic Dust finished third over 6f here last time with Dubai Affair well behind and she can confirm running and go close. However, VICONA just failed to hang on for victory in a higher grade at Goodwood on her latest start with today's rivals Best Be Careful and Aurivorous way off the pace and Paul Cole's filly can go one better this evening. Madame Kintyre drops back in distance and could figure on her handicap debut and Porthgwidden Beach improved on her reappearance at Wolverhampton in February.
