It was fast going when Raincall scored over track and trip but she struggled on today’s slower ground at Newbury last time. Aperitif completed a double before returning a losing favourite at Doncaster while Majorette’s victory over the minimum trip at Lingfield was back in April and Flying Sakhee is proving best over 7f. LADY MONICA made a winning seasonal debut in soft ground and has slipped down the weights in handicaps since. She may find enough improvement to get her head back in front and gets a speculative vote in a modest handicap.
