Ornella is the call in this affair with Neardown Beauty and Lady Friend the dangers. Hughie Morrison's charge has struggled to win since coming this side of the English Channel but her recent run at York represented a step in the right direction and this looks to be a relatively soft race for good prize money. Neardown Beauty was in rude health earlier in the year. She should have stripped fitter for two comeback runs. Lady Friend has been absent from the track for quite some time. The handicapper has been unerringly slow to drop her down the weights. Luck Will Come steps up in trip again having previously campaigned over six and seven furlongs. Lisathedaddy is out of form. Bavarica has been finishing close up in amateur riders events on the turf. A weak race there for the taking and Ornella looks best placed to do so.
