Recent Nottingham runner-up Lyrical Lady is the most exposed and MUSICAL ROMANCE is preferred. The latter finished second to a winner rated 85 at Beverley and looks capable of winning at this level on that evidence. Foursome is a likely improver for the Haggas yard but Three Diamonds disappointed last time and Awesome Dancer makes more appeal having finished closer at Windsor on his latest start.
