Waleyfa has been in top form on the all-weather, winning three of her last four. It was soft ground when beaten at Bath last month and she's only 2lb higher than her last victory though her rider claimed 3lb that day. GIRL INTHE PICTURE (NAP) loves fast going as she showed when scoring at Bath and Brighton last summer. She led for a long way on her reappearance over 1m2f here and William Buick is a positive booking. Anglo Saxson scored over the track and trip on fast going in August but hasn't run since October and though Handel was only beaten a neck at Wolverhampton in March, he's still a maiden after 18 starts. Mudlahhim and No Diggity were engaged in the 3.40 at Wolverhampton yesterday.
