Sweet Adare made a winning return to action at Stratford last month. She remains unexposed and Edward Austin’s claim almost negates an 8lb rise. Runasimi River arrives at the top of her game after wins here and at Warwick. She was only beaten a neck last time at Taunton but is still creeping up the weights. Legalized was staying on behind a couple of race-fit rivals at Ayr and is entitled to respect but Lady Of Lamanver is best watched after a two-year sabbatical. LIBERTY BELLA was very fresh on her reappearance at Bangor and dropped away approaching the straight. But she won around here at the start of the year and was highly tried later so may have more to offer.
