Niceonemyson and Gran Ganaria Queen are both upped in the weights having won their latest starts at Beverley and Hamilton respectively. That was the latter's first win on Turf in 13 attempts so it's not difficult to see SLATEY HEN performing the same feat here. A winner on the all-weather, she went close at Brighton last time and David Bergen's 5lb allowance could give her the edge in this. Pavers Star found only one too good at Doncaster last week with Mysterious Wonder back in sixth and See Vermont is another to consider after a couple of placed efforts at Beverley.
