KAMANIKA (NAP) went up just 2lb for her Sandown victory and last week's Leicester success was in an apprentice race so she has no penalty. Both were on soft ground so a hat-trick beckons. Magical Mile is best on faster ground while the Frankel filly Corymbosa has only raced on the all-weather. Macho Sun was a long way behind the selection last week but had earlier been beaten a neck on heavy going at Nottingham. Twilight Guest has never won and has no form in these conditions nor has Bold Ribb, whose winning form in Ireland was at Dundalk. Khangai was engaged in the 3.55 at Windsor yesterday.
