Ishiadancer and Layla Jamil don't have any soft ground form to speak of though both have scored over today's trip, while Fenella Fudge landed her maiden on fast ground last month but could only manage fourth back in handicap company last time. Eilean Eeve is still without a win in 18 starts and CLUMBER PLACE looks set to repeat last year's win in this. The latter can be forgiven a below par effort in much better company last time and Richard Guest's mare is the one to beat back at this level.
