Electric Ladyland won three times over 5f last season on Polytrack but is possibly best watched trying the extra furlong after a break. Archie Watson also runs the less-exposed Littledidyouknow but she’s only won so far at Southwell. LITTLE BROWN TROUT had to be switched in the straight here last month but still got up to land the spoils. He can confirm that form with Dazzling Des and complete the double. Taste The Nectar is a tough filly who is unlikely to be far away again but Zulu Zander is better over the minimum trip.
