Rated 76 having placed in a handicap at Sandown last time, LONG HAIRED LOVER had also placed in three previous outings on the all-weather and looks to have leading claims back at this level. Messalina may prove a threat having shown some promise over track and trip on her debut while Divine Summer only faded in the closing stages over a mile at Chelmsford on her reappearance and can finish closer over this shorter trip. Tefnut is a half-sister to four winners and preferred to Fauvette of the newcomers.
