NOOR AL HAYA made a bold bid dropped back to 1m6f at Nottingham last time but wasn't quite good enough. It should prove a different story here as she'd won with something to spare over today's trip at Chepstow last month and this looks no tougher. Fitzwilly's latest second came over a longer trip in soft ground and the Fibresand surface may have been responsible for Katie Gale's improved showing at Southwell last time. Orla's Rainbow is preferred to the latter pair after finishing runner-up at Brighton although he has yet to attempt the 2m trip.
