Groupie hasn't done a lot wrong since making a winning debut at Windsor in May with her latest second coming in a higher grade at Chester. Richard Hannon puts up 5lb claimer Megan Nicholls to reduce her burden and she looks a threat to all. Jumping Around's form also stands up to scrutiny while Prufrock has been knocking on the door. Shamsaya is another to consider but SANTAFIORA (NAP) overcame a lack of market confidence and a tardy start when beating an 80-rated rival on her debut at Bath in June and looks well treated here off 78 with George Wood taking off a further 5lb.
