Etienne Gerard has won twice over 6f this year but is unproven over today's trip. Jaiyana went close in a maiden race here last month and should figure on her handicap bow but MONNA VALLEY won a handicap over course and distance a fortnight ago and Stuart Williams' charge gets the vote to go in again. Kodiac Lady has also won over track and trip but is 6lb higher today while Flashy Diva has a chance on her earlier second at Kempton.
