Barfleur, Rockys Girl and Lazy Lena are the three for the shortlist, and Barfleur looks the one to be on. Rockys Girl has won two of her last four starts, and cannot be ruled out. She has gone up the weights but may need more cut in the ground to be seen at her best. Barfleur won at Uttoxeter over a similar trip and ran her best race for a while when finishing third to a useful type last time, despite running over an inadequate trip. She looks sure to appreciate the step up in distance. Lazy Lena's only success came at selling grade, and though she has been largely disappointing since, she ran a blinder last time in comparison with recent efforts, to be a staying on second. She too will enjoy the extra distance here. Barfleur showed signs of a return to form last time and can resume winning ways.
