The drop back in distance should not be too much of an inconvenience to SONNETATION. Jim Boyle's charge won at Wolverhampton last week and had Meddling well behind when scoring at Lingfield last June. The latter won at the same track in December but has been well beaten since while Queen Aggie is usually thereabouts off her current mark without being good enough to get her head in front. Lady Lydia steps up in trip for her first start since June and is probably best watched on this occasion.
