Cursory Exam got off the mark at the 14th time of asking here last month when he had a bit in hand so a 4lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big effort. INTERNATIONAL LADY tackles the trip for the first time having twice been narrowly beaten over a mile in recent weeks. Her ability to stay the extra has to be taken on trust but she's in good form and looks the one to beat. Ghumana ran easily her best race since transferring from Mark Johnston when a close third over track and trip last month so is greatly respected but this looks on the short side for Rock On Pedro.
