Elegant Madame struggled in Listed company last time having won at Lingfield earlier while Last Applause placed here before scoring at Catterick but both are penalised. South Kensington has been off the track since disappointing at Windsor in June and the Gosdens’ yard has sent out two of the previous five winners so STRUTTING can add her name to the list of winners having found only one too good at Newmarket last time.
