Lady Madison is penalised for winning over 6f at Chelmsford last year and Durrell was no match for the odds-on Turgenev at Newcastle in September. Culture was placed in maiden company in France in November and William McKinley showed some ability at Wolverhampton at the start of this year. But GRAPE SHOT has the most recent form when a close-up fourth at Chelmsford on her reappearance and the Hannon filly should be thereabouts at the finish with any further progress. Kasuku, Noble Fox and Molotov are all newcomers worthy of a second glance.
