VUELA won a maiden race at Newcastle by five lengths in November. Luca Cumani’s filly should prove good enough on her reappearance given today’s opposition is far more exposed. Langlauf just held on to win at Kempton in February but Star Of Lombardy has been beaten off today’s mark in a couple of subsequent outings since landing a double on the all-weather. Turning The Table failed to win last year and drops in class for her comeback while Jelly Monger has been hurdling and has not won on the Flat since 2014.
