Plenty of interesting contenders here, starting with top-weight Ladytown who showed a willing attitude when getting back up to score here last time and has claims off 4lbs higher, although it's a slight surprise she's not upped in trip. Fammi Sognare is in contrast dropped in distance and that may help as she was all-out to score last time over 1m2f. STRANDHILL is the one for us though having landed a gamble on ground too quick last time. Brian Nolan's filly is upped in trip but the way she rallied when headed last time suggests that may open the door to more improvement and her rating of 70 hasn't been altered. Slightly quicker ground may help Cognomen and the support he attracted last time suggests connections regard him as well-handicapped while Nightsinwhitesatin needs a look in the market as she steps into handicap company for the first time and The Silver Crown has shown in the past that she can go well off this rating.
