Several of these ran in the race won by Tequila Blaze at Ascot last month. CODED MESSAGE (NAP) finished fourth, ahead of Go Millie Go, Martha Brae and Get The Appeal. Ben Case’s mare is 7lb better off with the winner and there should be enough pace in this to bring her stamina into play – she is the only course winner in the line-up. Bourbon Beauty finished ahead of Emmpressive Lady at Sandown but this longer trip may better suit the latter.
