Miss Conway is seeking a fifth course victory and she is gradually slipping back towards a fair mark. It would be no surprise to see Mark Walford’s mare get her head back in front but SLEEP IN FIRST also knows where the winning post is here. He finished second in a better race over course and distance 10 days ago and can go one better racing off the same mark. Indian Voyage is held on the form book and really needs softer ground while Sedgefield third Reverse The Charge is 0-23 over fences. Rhythm Of Sound may need this run.
