LADY MAFKI (NAP) has won all three starts on the all-weather this year and defied a penalty to win by four lengths at Chelmsford last time. She’s worth sticking with despite a further hike in the weights. Rainbow Pride should make a race of it as he passed the post first at Bath only to be disqualified for interference and can race off the same mark in this. Cry Fury was placed in a Lingfield seller in June but has not won since 2011 and Dovils Date is also looking to end a long losing run.
