Miss Sligo wasn’t beaten far at Brighton last time, despite only finishing eighth, but four of her rivals were winners last time. Owens Lad is penalised for winning at Carlisle and LAILAH (NAP) is preferred having only been raised 2lb for her victory in a Yarmouth classified race in which Flammable finished third. Nivelle's Magic is up 3lb for winning at Salisbury while She's A Mirage has been raised 5lb for scoring on the all-weather. Epsom runner-up Gilbert must have some sort of chance despite the step up in trip.
