Lydiate Lady finished closer over track and trip last month but would prefer some cut in the ground. David's Beauty is usually thereabouts without winning and that was the case again at Carlisle last time while Aperitif finished well ahead of Mayfair Madame when winning at Goodwood on her handicap debut. But that was in soft going over 6f and she’ll find things happening faster today so the vote goes to TEEPEE TIME. The latter gave notice of a return to form when runner-up on fast ground at Ayr recently and having won off a 7lb higher mark last summer may well repeat her victory in this contest in 2017.
