Bess Of Hardwick hasn't raced since landing a Wolverhampton maiden in October but it's interesting that she's been kept in training. California has contested Listed races in both starts this year so will enjoy the lesser company. Indira is on a terrific run and beat Saumur at Bath back in May, though the latter is now 7lb better off. Motdaw won very easily on soft going at Leicester but has picked up a penalty and was earlier beaten five lengths over this trip at Goodwood by PELOPONNESE (NAP). The Stoute filly was raised 11lb for that but is on a steep upward curve and a hat-trick beckons.
