SO IS SHE is very versatile having won over timber, on Fibresand and Polytrack and though she's yet to score on Turf on the Flat this looks her chance after Natasha Eaton steered her to victory at Wolverhampton despite being impeded in the early stages. The veteran Dunaskin will be having his 120th career start and is aiming for his 17th success after last week's victory at Southwell. He has a penalty to carry but can't be ruled out with his young rider's claim a big help. Laconicos has a career record of one success in 80 starts which doesn't offer much encouragement so it's course winner If What And Maybe, whose victory was gained on soft ground, who may provide a bigger threat.
