LADY OF LUXURY beat the veteran Sharjah narrowly in this a year ago but is 11lb higher thanks to a recent double. She won with a bit in hand last time, however, and a hat-trick has to be a distinct possibility. The latter was having his 145th start when runner-up to Wild Shot last week and is still looking for a 10th track victory. Must Be Dreaming is held on that latest run and Fallen Forest has shown very little before gaining a shock victory over the front-running Kalanoura on his track debut a fortnight ago for which he's been raised 5lb. Park Row is on a very long losing run but has won six times around here and the assessor has loosened his grip.
