Oh So Sassy and Marjong can be given a chance on their latest placed efforts with the latter preferred after a close-up third at Nottingham. Miss Lillie isn't out of this either and makes more appeal than soft-ground maiden winner Backstage Gossip. Moonspring is upped in class as he bids for a four-timer off a 3lb higher mark so a speculative vote goes the way of JOIE DE REVE. The latter had little chance up against higher-rated rivals in a Class 2 conditions race here last time and drops back in trip for her handicap debut.
