Esteemable and Lucy The Painter are both bidding for hat-tricks having already won twice on the all-weather this year. The former is making her debut on Turf but the latter did win on good going at Ffos Las in July last year, though is 14lb higher. Simply Shining landed this last year but is 6lb higher, though Adam McNamara's claim takes care of that. LAVETTA came good at Redcar in November and has continued that progress this year. She always had matters in hand at Catterick earlier this week and can defy her penalty. Azagal can't get much lower in the weights but may need this with Fray preferred to Italian Beauty and Sahara of the others.
