There will be no hiding place with the pacesetting Busy Bimbo in the field and we'll take the view that THORNTOUN LADY should be capable of capitalising. Connections have had to be exceedingly patient with their mare but she seemed to relish a drop to the minimum trip at Musselburgh, and it is hoped that she arrives at Haydock in a similar frame of mind. Taffetta was hampered at Pontefract on her most recent start though that performance represented another step in the right direction. Where The Boys Are won two handicaps last season and while her form is inconsistent, this is very much her trip. White Flag is a regular in low-grade sprints and connections will be hoping that any rain stays away while Irish Girls Spirit wasn't beaten far at Doncaster on Thursday.
