This may not take a great deal of winning and while Excessive is open to improvement after just three career starts, the Willie Jarvis-trained filly was a shade disappointing to be beaten in a moderate Nottingham maiden on her reappearance and she looks worth taking on with preference for Everygrainofsand, who gets the vote over Lady Lafitte. The selection did not race as a juvenile but has shown a consistent level of form this term and should appreciate the drop back to the minimum trip today. Awwal Malika was highly tried in the Rockfel Stakes when last seen and could be of interest on her return, while Conorville has given little sign of encouragement so far. Lady Lafitte ran better over course and distance last time and has claims on that evidence but preference is for Everygrainofsand, who should appreciate the drop back in trip.
