FAIRLIE DINKUM had won at Musselburgh before going close off a 6lb higher mark when runner-up over C&D on her latest start. Open to further improvement, Bryan Smart's filly is taken to confirm running with No Poppy and go one better. Elusive Sue should figure again after a better effort at Thirsk last time, while Bint Mazyouna may do better dropping back in trip for her seasonal reappearance. Nawaashi remains out of sorts but Bianca De Medici could make the frame.
