The only one of these with experience of Fibresand, Piccacard has been placed here twice now but faces a huge task on today's terms with several of these. Frivolous Lady is clear at the weights having won her maiden at Salisbury back in May but she is having her first start since and a chance is taken that LADY MCGUFFY can overcome unfavourable terms. Michael Dods' filly won a claimer in soft ground at Redcar last month and is also preferred to Indulgent. The latter should fare better here having failed to figure in a handicap last time but the rest are harder to fancy.
