RED LADY (NAP) arrives in the best form. It was fast ground when she scored over track and trip last time and she can defy a 3lb rise. The Dandy Yank had been holding his form well until a below par effort at Wolverhampton while Al Senad has found life tough back in handicaps after landing a Beverley maiden. Shilla has a shout off her current mark on earlier placed efforts but Royal Birth and Threetimesalady have yet to show their best this year.
