Many of these are old rivals but most are struggling to get their heads in front. MARY LEE’s stamina will have to be taken on trust but she is among the least exposed and shaped with more encouragement behind Marmalade Cat over 1m on the all-weather here last time. Stable companion Ideal Dancer finished ahead of Billi Ann, Coin Mistress and Queen Nitocris over 1m2f here last time while Bravo Charlie represents a stable/jockey combination with a few good chances today and Gibral De Roche could also be capable of better than he’s shown so far.
