Twice a winner over C&D, KHELEY was drawn on the wrong side in a big field here a week ago and did well to finish a close-up third. She looks capable of winning off her current mark and can reverse last week's form with the runner-up Bertrand. Dickie Le Davoir beat Muqalad at Wolverhampton recently and is equally adept on this surface, while Clear Ice won twice here back in 2009 and showed signs of a return to form last time. Lets Move It has a bit to find with the principals and We'll Deal Again remains without a win.
