Flycatcher is upped in class off a higher mark having won at Beverley last month and Crowley's Law scored at the same course when last seen at the track in September. Annawi ended last year with a victory in testing ground at Sandown and may need further than this now, but Bousatet still has to prove she stays a mile. Both Oddysey and Monakova look high enough in the weights at present and Lilac Lace is 6lb higher than when winning last year's renewal. Zeyran may well go close on the back of a decent comeback run at Pontefract, but PELERIN is just preferred. She looked outclassed in the Nell Gywn at Newmarket on her reappearance but the Kempton winner gets another chance in this lesser company.
