There was plenty to like about the debut run of Anna Barkova over 6f here last month and with the extra furlong certain to suit she'll take some beating.

Enjoy Life wasn't fancied on her debut at Catterick but ran well for a long way and will have come on markedly for the run but the five-year-old Ay Up Audrey was beaten in a seller last time.
