WHITE LAVENDER wasn’t at her best at Bath last month but gets another chance having just missed out over track and trip in last year’s Abbaye. Karl Burke’s charge is taken to reverse form at Bath with Perdika on this testing ground. The Irish filly Brostaigh beat the selection in a Group 2 at Chantilly last summer and has a shout while Tudo Bem may prove best of the home team.
