Adaay In Asia has won three of her last four and Helvetique has claims running in her first handicap. Whistledown is having a 10th start of the year but threw away a winning chance over 5f at Sandown last month. Though a beaten favourite in successive outings, a drop back to 6f might help CALM SKIES who gets the nod ahead of Outside World, sailing in calmer waters after finishing last in the Lowther at York.
