This looks tricky but Clef, fourth in a similar contest here two weeks ago, is holding her form well and should be thereabouts again. Richard Fahey also runs Lady In Question and Richard Hannon is another trainer who is doubly represented, though neither Somebody To Love nor Lexington Sky showed much last time. SHOZITA was always travelling strongly when beating recent Wolverhampton winner Texas Katie by a length on her debut over 6f at Salisbury. An opening handicap mark of 75 looks workable with the booking of Silvestre De Sousa an added bonus. Bongrace in on a roll having won twice over this trip but has been raised 8lb for her success at Newcastle.
