The firm ground may been Lady Mango's undoing at Chepstow last time as she'd been in fine form before that and is a leading contender back on the Polytrack. Liberal Lady keeps finding one too good but in better company than this and she could figure along with Iced Opal. Button Moon has bits of form on the Turf that could see him get involved but a punt is taken on BY INVITATION. She's ran a couple of shockers on Turf since landing her maiden over C&D in January by four lengths but a return to this surface could bring about a change in fortune for Ralph Beckett's filly.
