Verdict
The lightly-raced Bambika went close over C&D last time and should confirm running with third-placed Acclamatory, though today's likely slow ground is a bit of a worry. Flaxen Lake also suffered a narrow margin defeat on his latest start and he's another to consider but MUCKY MOLLY found only one too good in soft ground at Newcastle last week and is given another chance here as she looks sure to be winning soon off her current mark. Best One is yet another to finish runner-up on his latest start, but that was over 5f and he's gone back up in the weights as a result.
