Fanny Again was well backed at Wolverhampton last time but had earlier finished more than five lengths behind KATNISS over this course and distance. She is 6lb better off but that may not be enough to overturn the form with Stuart Williams' filly, who also has the beating of Athenian Garden on that run. Incantare has been getting closer over 1m2f but will have to prove she stays this far but Novel Dancer could be a danger back on the Flat having failed to take to hurdles. Awesome Rock looks best of the rest in a modest heat.
