Several are upped in class including Ready To Venture, who boasts Group 1 entries and placed in a conditions' race over a mile at Ascot on her reappearance. She’s preferred to the likes of Talbeyah, Aura Blue and Ad Infinitum while Nash Nasha came up well short in Listed company at Lingfield though today’s return to 1m2f should suit. But LADY HAYES will be sharper for a recent comeback at Newmarket and having handled soft ground on a trip over to France last term, Roger Varian’s filly may prove the one to side. Mystery Show and Fairy Cakes arrive on the back of winning handicaps but have plenty to find on these terms.
