Molly's A Diva was pulled up in Grade 3 last time but has won at this level this season, though is still 9lb higher. Flementime has been chasing this season while Mystery Drama has been struggling for form. The latter's stablemate Bull And Bush makes her seasonal reappearance but Red Penny ran her best race so far last time when second at Wincanton and Rosa Imperialis is on the upgrade judged on an easy win at Fontwell. MOLO is a nervous type and boiled over on her penultimate start at Fontwell. But she wasn't beaten far over further here last time under a penalty and might have been let in lightly on her handicap debut.
