JEU DE VIVRE is the one to beat here. She scored by four lengths at Hamilton a week ago and it's unlikely a 6lb penalty will prevent her following up in this company. Chookie Hamilton isn't in the best of form but won this race last year and remains on a winning mark, while Lady Bluesky may be better for the outing as this is her first start since May. Miss Ferney has won twice over the trip this season and wasn't beaten that far at Wolverhampton during the week, but Grand Diamond looks up against it.
