Hanalei Bay scored over track and trip before a poor effort over further at Chester last time. He has a shout back over this distance but Lady Artiste appears to have less excuse for her latest below-par runs having landed a double earlier in the year. Zain Zone is not getting much help from the handicapper despite appearing to need it but dual course and distance winner Spavento has slipped down the weights of late. COSQUILLAS won her maiden at Wolverhampton back in February and should have improved in the interim. Stepping up in trip for her debut on this surface, the Johnston filly gets the nod.
