BE LIKE ME never threatened when held up last time at Chester but had been knocking on the door previously. She has a decent record on Polytrack, despite failing to win, and Andrea Atzeni takes over the reins for the first time. Peggie Sue is a tough filly with a good strike-rate but may be a shade high in the weights now. Lingfield winner Lapidary is on an upward curve but Irene May will do well to preserve her unbeaten record after a lengthy absence. Rose Berry is slipping down the weights but Sweet Pursuit has never won off a mark this high.
