Eshoog may well be good enough on her return to action and the betting could give the best clue to her chances, but Sairaam has claims if building on her improved effort at Leicester last month. Primo Lady could also figure judged on her fifth at Newbury, though poor runs either side of that outing don't boost confidence and preference is for MING MENG. Though she's racing in the same grade as when fifth at Doncaster in April, this looks less competitive so Michael Bell's filly gets the nod to return to winning ways.
