Strathspey runs here in preference to tackling Listed company at Ascot. She had taken a while to get her head in front and hasn't always looked that keen, but it would be folly to underestimate her on this first attempt in handicap company. Prayers For Rain looks to have plenty on her plate for what she has achieved, while In Luck should be more at home over this slightly shorter trip, having not quite lasting out at Yarmouth last time. A chance is taken with the consistent Miss Gigi, who has turned in several decent efforts of late without quite troubling the judge.
