West End Lad and Dontpaytheferryman remain out of form and the latter was tailed off behind Goodlukin Lucy over 1m6f here recently. Omega Omega was also well beaten by the latter last time, but only a head separated Grandad Mac and RANCHO MONTOYA when the former scored over track and trip earlier this month. However, Andrew Balding's charge is less exposed and is taken to reverse running having only her second start on the Fibresand. Loulou Vuitton finished second to La Estrella, rated 87, in a seller here on her latest start but the winner scored in a hack canter and the form shouldn't be taken literally.
