William Buick is an eye-catching booking aboard LADY AVA for Ed Dunlop as the filly attempts to give weight and a beating to her rivals. Crack The Kode is of a decent pedigree as far as speed is concerned and the gelding managed to get off the mark at Catterick last month. Marie's Secret has been given time off since floundering on soft going at Ripon while Goldmine Girl didn't take to the Polytrack at Chelmsford and is probably better judged on a solid second in novice company at Pontefract. Celestial Flight is yet to add to victory in the Rous Stakes at York and appears best of the rest.
