The betting suggested LYFKA was expected to come good over 6f here last week and she duly obliged by nine lengths. This longer trip should not be a problem and she can confirm running with Battleranger. Romance Story has been raised a further 4lb for finishing second over a mile here and Forza Blacky disappointed over 1m2f at Kempton last time. Almoqatel has won a plating race over today's trip but handicap debutants Manolito and Nota Cambiata look bigger threats.
