Canford Lilli was only beaten half-a-length in a Chepstow maiden earlier this month but the handicapper put her up 8lb for that. EXOPLANET BLUE, Posh Bounty and Dear Bruin all failed to follow up earlier wins on their latest starts. Any of the three could bounce back here but the top weight drops back down a grade after only beating one home at Epsom so gets the nod. Chandon Elysees and Many Dreams will be back on the all-weather in the months ahead and it's more than a year since Cahala Dancer last saw a racecourse.
