Lady Of Longstone has suddenly discovered where the winning post is and chases a hat-trick under a penalty after a couple of wins at Worcester. But she only beat the staying-on KAYLA by four lengths on her penultimate start and Stuart Edmunds' less-exposed mare is now a massive 15lb better off so looks the one to be on. Tambura, Taylor, Midnight Sapphire, Little Dream and Surf In September would all have each-way claims on their best form while Woodland Walk and the returning Maybe Plenty have their sights lowered a little. Last year's winner Magic Money is a pound lower so could also figure in a wide-open handicap.
