ARISTOCRATIC LADY (NAP) continued her good progress when winning at Yarmouth on her handicap debut. She has a hike in the weights to contend with but hasn’t stopped improving yet. Wedding Date ran well enough without threatening in the Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood a week ago but She Can Boogie’s recent placed effort at Ascot came over the minimum trip and Sound Of Iona won over the same distance at Ayr earlier. Novice winner So Sharp has switched yards since last year and makes her handicap debut.
