LIBERTY LADY comes with a health warning having lost her race at the start on her last two visits to the racecourse but she could go close if getting away on terms. This is a little easier than some of the tasks she has been set of late and she promises to be suited by this step up to six furlongs. Super Frank isn't a frequent winner but both turf successes came over course and distance in the spring of last year from a 5lb higher mark and it would be no great surprise to see him pop up. Sunshine Always is capable but always needs a little luck in running whilst Angel Of Fashion has been running well but she could have her work cut out from the widest draw of all.
