Mandy The Nag is up another 7lb for her recent win at Chepstow while Visit Copenhagen needs to dig a bit deeper if she's to score off her current mark. A trio of lightly-raced types could end up fighting this one out given it's too soon to write off dual winner Drahem despite a disappointing effort at Yarmouth and Azenzar went very close when third at Kempton on her latest start. WHISPERING LADY made her handicap bow in a tougher race at Goodwood back in May and David Simcock's filly gets the nod as she's mostly likely improved during the interim.
