Flood Defence was narrowly beaten over 7f at Wolverhampton last time but both the winner and third have been well beaten subsequently. Another chance goes to THREE DUCHESSES as she also went very close at Wolverhampton recently and Lulu Stanford is back on board today claiming 7lb. Nellie's Dancer was third of five at Musselburgh on her debut but will likely improve while Haldaw is a sister to a couple of winners and a half-sister to three others and makes more appeal than White Chocolate and Lady Freyja of the newcomers.
