Ayr Of Elegance won over 2m on the Turf course at Lingfield in July and was having her first start since when beaten on the all-weather earlier this month. Gabrial's Star is getting closer to taking advantage of a slide down the weights but the progressive GRACEFUL LADY has faced tougher tasks than this since winning under today’s apprentice over this trip at York during the summer and she gets the nod to get her head back in front. The New Pharaoh and Incus have a shout if lasting home while the veteran Riptide stays all day.
