After a second at Catterick, Kilconny Bridge easily landed the odds over a longer trip here last month. Jubilympics has been very frustrating but has the ability to figure in a race like this while Midnight Sapphire outran big odds when second at Kempton. LISA DE VASSY is on a steep upward curve having found only one too good the last twice at Wincanton and Sandown. She may have been raised 6lb but there should be plenty more to come. Uttoxeter second Llantara also holds decent claims but Daytime Ahead is hard to predict.
