The lightly-raced Theladyinquestion shrugged off a long absence to score at Newmarket last month and may still be a step ahead of the handicapper. Dubai Queen hasn't run a bad race this year and can make her presence felt again, while it would be no surprise to see Golden Delicious go well back in handicap company as she is only 3lb higher than when just beaten at Newmarket in July. Chokurei looks the pick of Clive Cox's two runners and Romantic Wish is proving most consistent but has to give 5lb to AL MAYASAH. David Simcock's filly receives weight all round despite another cracking effort off this mark at Yarmouth last time when finishing a long way in front of Russian Rave. Jamie Spencer should be able to fully utilise her finishing burst here from stall one.
