Lovers' Gait won easily over track and trip on her return to action but has been raised 9lb for that success and ROCK OF FAME is just preferred. The latter has also been raised in the weights for finishing runner-up over course and distance last month when collared right on the line but Roger Varian’s filly gets another chance having finished ahead of Diva Kareem, who was due to run at Lingfield yesterday. Schmoozie is preferred to Princess Way of the remainder.
