SLY MADAM is penalised for winning over a mile at Windsor last week. But she scored with plenty to spare and looks worth another try over this longer trip. The maiden Big Bear Hug is also back up in distance after placing at Nottingham on her reappearance while Gold Souk was successful over further at Bath on his first start after wind surgery but this is tougher. Destiny Queen remains unexposed but Aldbourne is 8lb higher than when winning here last autumn.
