SCUFFLE is rated better than her run last time at Kempton and she is preferred to Perfect Star and Born Tobouggie who both finished ahead of her three weeks ago. Most of Roger Charlton's runners have needed the run this season and although she was well-fancied three weeks ago, she shaped as if she would improve for the run. The switch to turf will suit this daughter of Daylami and she should be able to race more prominently this afternoon. Born Tobouggie stole the race from the front at Kempton and will do well to do so again, and the added negative of a penalty makes life tougher. Perfect Star filled second and should again feature, whilst the 103-rated pair of Eva's Request and Infamous Angel represent powerful yards and each has contested better races than this in their short careers. Of the remainder Sawab and Cassique Lady need to improve, although money for the last-named would make her of interest now returned to the turf. This looks a good opportunity for Scuffle to gain revenge for her Kempton defeat.
