Woodbury has been in cracking form this season, and her win Newmarket received a boost when the runner-up that day Dorchester, went on to frank the form next time. She may have been slightly flattered that day as they went no gallop, but there is no denying she comes here at the top of her game. However, she has been done no favours by the draw and preference is for Dowhatjen, who was beatn by the draw at Newcastle last time. Mick Channon's filly has a fine chance on her close up third behind Bon Marche at Headquarters and if she can reproduce that, she will take all the beating. The maiden Jahangir gets no respite from the Handicapper and a bigger threat could be the lightly weighted Foronlymo, who turned in a sound effort at Leicester behind the unexposed Man The Gate.
