AUDARYA (NAP) has been unlucky to come up against some useful performers to date. She was only one to make a race of it with the long odds-on Velorum at Yarmouth last time and gets 12lb from previous winners Artois and Proton. The former is making his seasonal reappearance and Turf debut but the latter overcame trouble in-running to score at Carlisle and is proven on the ground. Laulloir and Medal Winner will need to improve on modest first runs.
