LEAH FREYA is partnered by a leading amateur in Serena Brotherton and looks to have strong claims on the back of a three-length victory over track and trip recently. Eton Rambler also has a shout having won over course and distance last year and finishing runner-up at the track three weeks ago. Daisy Boy attempts a longer trip after winning over 1m2f at Sandown but English Summer went close at Leicester last week having slipped down the weights of late.
