Coqueta has been thereabouts over longer trips on the all-weather recently while Genuine Approval completed a double on artificial surfaces with last month’s victory at Kempton but has switched yards since. Lunar Bounty also debuts for a new yard with a tongue-tie applied on her return to the Flat. VILLANELLE found one too good at Leicester last time having won at the same track earlier and Jonathan Portman’s filly may prove the one to side with in this.
