Coronation Cottage is the only maiden in the line-up and hasn't done as well as expected after a fair debut at Chepstow in July. Prancelina has improved with each run this season and it was fast ground when she wasn't beaten far at Brighton last month. Fabric landed a fast-ground maiden at Nottingham last summer but has looked a bit one-paced in similar conditions in her last two starts though she's likely to have needed last month's run at Nottingham when she was behind DESERT SPORT. The latter was also returning from an absence and showed improved form at the backend of last year so looks the one to be on.
