Pink Legend rather ran in snatches at Aintree 11 days ago but will strip fitter here and she holds Rose Of Arcadia on last season’s form. Lilith and Swincombe Fleat have a mountain to climb at the weights while Tweed Skirt was struggling to hang on to the coat tails of GALIA DES LITEAUX when unseating her rider at Market Rasen. Dan Skelton’s mare easily landed the odds at the Lincolnshire track and will probably be a short price to follow up.
