Both Company Minx and Al Simmo appeared to take a big step forward when successful last time. Penny Pot Lane won here back in 2018 but she appears to reserve her best nowadays for Pontefract. Lethal Angel is not without a chance but Heptathlete is 0-15 on Turf. AVEBURY makes her handicap debut after just three starts. She looked to be coming to hand when only beaten a length in a maiden at Ayr and is bred to be better than 70-rated handicapper. Rainbow Mirage may be the pick of the remainder.
