Trinity Girl won at Doncaster when dropped own to 1m4f and Livia The Empress has placed in both outings since winning over 1m2f at Beverley and also has claims.

A close-up fourth at Hamilton last time suggests a return to winning ways is not far away and David O’Meara’s filly may come out best with cheekpieces added.
