Plenty with claims in this and a chance is taken on SHE AIN'T A SAINT. She failed to build on a couple of Polytrack victories last year, but showed signs of a resurgence when third over a mile here last time and is now 5lb lower than when scoring at Lingfield last March. Satwa Laird beat Russian Ice here last month and should also get the better of Tiradito on that form, while Lastkingofscotland can never be written off at this level. Ducal hasn't raced since December but is good enough if at his best on his return.
