The three-year-old JAIYANA was just touched off at Lingfield before landing a maiden here three days later and, as she's still on the same mark, will prove difficult to beat. Oil Strike scored over the minimum trip here in October but couldn't handle a 6lb rise on a return visit and has gone up again. Sophie Killoran was on board when Bush Beauty won here in October and Eric Alston's filly holds Bogsnog on that run. Smart Dj scored here in October and didn't quite look at his best on a return visit last month.
