A runner-up at Lingfield, Graceland returns to action and is weighted to get the better of Casila. But the latter has a recent run under her belt when third at Redcar and is up in distance today. CLARENTINE failed to get to grips with the winner over 1m2f at Lingfield last time but lost ground when forced wide on the bend. Normal luck in-running and this longer trip can see Ed Dunlop's filly off the mark. Harps Of Bretagne has shown nothing so far and is easily dismissed.
