MUNDANA was only a narrow-margin winner at Salisbury last time, but she needed only to be pushed out to land the odds and can follow up on her handicap debut. Roodle returned to form with a win over C&D in June, but Al Mayasah is more consistent and there should be further improvement to come from her after scoring at Thirsk last month. Leicester winner Russian Rave looks to be treading water off her current mark, while this is much tougher than the race All Honesty won at Folkestone on her penultimate start.
