Singzak finished second over 1m4f here last time with Green Lightning only a length behind and JOAN D'ARC back in fourth. The latter is proven over today's trip with a win at Yarmouth last month and Noel Quinlan's filly is taken to reverse running with today's rivals and get her head back in front. Dove Cottage has finished runner-up to Maydream at Bath on her last two outings and should be thereabouts again, while last month's Beverley winner Ferney Boy remains in good form, which is more than can be said of C&D winner Storm Hawk and Drawn Gold.
