A few of these have something to prove over today's distance including the returning Khee Society whose only win so far came over a mile. Trader Jack won over 1m2f last month but is 8lb higher for this while Leonard Thomas has not won since making a winning debut back in 2013. But LADY OF YUE scored over track and trip last year and, back on a winning mark, Eugene Stanford's mare may well be capable of landing this. Lily Edge is another who stays the trip but has done all her winning on the all-weather tracks so far.
