Ela Goog La Mou went close in soft ground at Brighton last month while Collodi ploughed through the mud to beat Uncle Dermot at Windsor last week. The top weight carries a penalty for that and another recent winner at Windsor, MAGIQUE, makes more appeal. She's up 3lb but is dropping down a grade for this. Kung Hei Fat Choy ran well in heavy going when fourth at Catterick but has yet to win on Turf and Barwick makes more appeal back on a winning mark having landed a double here last season.
