Perfect Words won this in 2014 and scored here earlier this month when narrowly beating Lady Joanna Vassa. The latter re-opposes on better terms today while Nuala Tagula finished ahead of Kodimoor with Mr Enthusiastic well beaten when runner-up at Musselburgh last month but had earlier finished behind SARABI at Beverley. Scott Dixon’s filly was beaten only a head on that occasion and can go one better off her current mark. Windforpower was due to run at Beverley yesterday but was behind Perfect Words here before that.
