A couple of recent winners to consider but both have something to prove off higher marks today. Shahrazad has a penalty for her win at Kempton and Olney Lass makes more appeal on her three length victory over course and distance. She's up 7lb for that while Malekat Jamal will find this tougher than September's win at Brighton. TAHLIA REE makes a quick reappearance having finished second to Available at Doncaster last Friday. She stays this extra distance and can go one better for MIchael Bell.
