Lady Gibraltar went close over 6f here last time when beaten by the narrowest of margins and is capable of better judged on her earlier efforts in maidens on the turf. Irish raider Nini Ok gets first-time blinkers on her first start since June and they'll need to spark some improvement, while Red Socks showed no improvement on his return from lay-off at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago. That leaves KYLEAKIN LASS, who has shown progress on all three starts on turf and looks capable of opening her account here having gone close at Leicester last time.
