Several have a shout though DUBAI LADY has the most scope and represents last year’s winning yard. George Boughey’s filly made a successful debut over track and trip before going close carrying a penalty at Kempton and there looks more to come now handicapping. Lightening Company is also unexposed and drops down a grade while Grangeclare View was beaten only a neck at Southwell and can figure again. Plastic Paddy placed at the latter track recently and finished in front of Broctune Red when runner-up here before that.
