Bonza Girl has returned to action in good form and steps up in trip bidding for a hat-trick. But she has something to prove in soft going and so does Premier Rose, who completed a treble with a recent victory at Leicester. Ding Ding has been well beaten either side of winning at Plumpton though drops in class today while Lostnfound may improve for recent wind surgery but ROBINESSE gets the vote. The latter never threatened the winner when second at Uttoxeter on her reappearance but will be sharper for this and has form in testing ground.
