LORELINA has been knocking on the door and William Cox takes off a handy 7lb today. She’ll probably handle conditions better than most so gets the nod, though Paradise Cove is another who handles soft ground. Bybrook should make the frame again but Cotinga is also proving hard to win with. Pondering has been successful twice this season, however, and her stable remains in excellent form so she makes more appeal than Drumochter.
