Royal Countess appeared to find a mile too short on her latest start at Ayr but this trip stretches the stamina of Abie's Hollow. Remmy D was just beaten here 12 days ago and the form could receive a boost through Granite City Doc earlier on the card while Be Bold is a consistent sort in this grade. BRUTALAB Stays further but conditions could play to his strengths here and he was third last time at Haydock under Ella McCain – he’ll likely be staying on when others have cried enough.
