Lorton won off a slightly higher mark over track and trip back in March while Dancing Feet finished runner-up at Kempton more recently. Clinician disappointed at Newmarket on her handicap debut and drops back down in trip while novice winner Imperial Gloriana debuts on the all-weather. Amber Island placed here earlier in the week on her debut for a new yard but MELODIC CHARM will be sharper for a recent comeback run. She finished a decent fourth in Group 3 company last year and improvement is expected on her second outing after a wind operation.
