Paul Hanagan can end the meeting on a high with COVERT DECREE. She made a promising debut here when runner-up to the potentially useful Albaraka and will have benefited for the experience. Danehill Intellect shaped well on her two starts last year but may just need the run on her first outing since September 2009, while Lauralu was well beaten at Lingfield on her debut and is probably best watched for now. Silk Lingerie is related to a couple of winners but may find this a tough task on her racecourse debut.
