Haseefah, a winner over hurdles, has returned to the Flat in excellent form having battled to victory over this trip at Chester and Goodwood. Tucson Cloud has gradually improved and won nicely at Leicester though that was on soft ground and some rain would help. MIMIKYU (NAP) had a sustained battle with the odds-on Time Lock in a novices' race at Haydock and came out on top. She makes her handicap debut and looks the type to go on to better things so gets the nod though Lady Labelle is by no means out of this having run very well at York after missing the break.
