Across The Nile has won three of her last four starts over longer trips and beat LIGHT LILY at Kempton last time. But the latter re-opposes on more favourable terms with Luke Cotton taking a further 5lb off her back and John Butler’s mare can turn the tables. Hurricane Helen finished well behind the above pair but Cool Vixen went close over today’s trip on her penultimate start and makes most appeal of the remainder.
