Avow will appreciate a return to the Polytrack after a poor try at Goodwood last time, but it is hard to fancy him given his runs of late and a poor low draw. Pavement Games isn't sure to benefit from a drop in trip, whilst Duke Of Rainford has no issues with the minimum distance and could play a part from a good draw after an improved placed effort last time. Flaxen Lake went close over this trip at Wolverhampton most recently and could be a threat to our selection MADAM ISSHE. The pick has a good draw and has started to head in the right direction in her last two runs. Malcolm Saunders has a 17% strike-rate with three-year-olds this year and if his entry can take advantage from a good position she can score.
