Oscar Jane has won three of her six starts around here but the 10-year-old has been lightly campaigned this season and is still paying the price for previous exploits and others have more scope. Actlikeacountess left previous form behind when scoring at Leicester and the grey hails from a yard still in excellent form. Avithos was only beaten a length over track and trip last month and neither Margaret's Rose nor Viking Mistress cam be ignored. GOLD BONNE RAINE was quietly fancied at Sedgefield last month but found the trip too short. This might be a more suitable test for Evan Williams’ mare and she gets a tentative vote.
