Who's Shirl is getting closer as she slips down the weights and should figure again after finishing third over C&D last time. Beaten on the Turf of late, LADY LAYLA makes more appeal back on this surface as she was runner-up on her last couple of starts over track and trip. 2lb lower today, it could be enough to swing things in her favour. Dark Lane has been in better form over 6f lately and Lucky Money is back on a winning mark if rediscovering his best while Chester Aristocrat could make the frame.
