Fairy Foxglove is still a maiden and continues to frustrate. She started favourite in the race won easily by Bishan Bedi a fortnight ago but could never get close to the winner. Moss Nation, who finished runner-up, was dropped back to 6f last week and found the trip too short so she's entitled to do better. Elusive In Paris looked on a fair mark after several strong efforts and was made favourite three weeks ago but missed the break and finished last. Alfaayza scored over the track and trip in November and was nowhere near her best on a return visit the following month. Six Silver Lane is still 7lb higher than his victory here in May but will be better for a recent run behind Togoville. CAPTAINS DILEMMA only has one course victory to his credit but he generally performs well. He will have needed his run behind Nini Ok early last month and can get back to winning ways.
