Universal Effect has switched yards after going close at Kempton last time but won over track and trip for David Lanigan before that. The latter should have a good line on the form and runs CITY OF LOVE, who raced in France without success before placing at Bath on her debut for new connections - the three-year-old should be sharper today. Mary Somerville hasn’t raced since May and drops back down in trip for her reappearance but Bint Dandy will take advantage of a slide down the weights before long and is preferred to Zafaranah.
