Verdict
Oakley Girl finished ahead of Home Cummins and Gentlemusic in a slightly higher grade at Newmarket last month so shouldn't be disgraced here. Yodelling can benefit from a drop in distance and is another to consider but Persian Breeze has been looking very one paced. AJAADAT (NAP) deserves a change of luck not having got the best of runs last time at Musselburgh. She finished with a rare rattle once seeing daylight and compensation should be forthcoming.
