Several can be given a chance including ASTROZONE. The latter scored over track and trip last summer and Bryan Smart’s filly returned to action with a close-up second back here last month. Miss Nay Never won at the track before placing at Haydock and is preferred to Soapys Sister, a recent winner at Hamilton debuting on the all-weather. Not On Your Nellie went close at Haydock last time and that looks stronger form than Lady Celia’s recent placed efforts.
