Nothing really stands out as a reliable option, so only a tentative nomination is given to Lucys Lady, who is preferred over Flying Key and Floral Bazzar. A move for Bloodstocktv will also be interesting, as he shaped up well on his debut and would have to come into the reckoning if he could reproduce that sort of form. However, he did hang badly on firm ground at Musselburgh last time out, so any rain will help his cause. Floral Bazzar should have benefited from her debut run at Catterick and is expected to be sharper this time around. However, she does need to find a little improvement and is not one to be diving in heavily with today. Flying Key ran as well as expected when she was introduced on the All Weather earlier in the month. She may already need a longer trip, though, and also makes limited appeal from a punting perspective. Therefore, we turn to Lucys Lady, who was not beaten far in a better race than this at Beverley five days ago. She had previously won in this grade at Haydock, where today's jockey showed his worth in the saddle. Andrew Elliot can again put his claim to good use is fancied to get the best out of Lucys Lady again here.
