Empress Ali is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and has run well in both starts this campaign so she's no forlorn hope to concede weight all round. Company Asset has completed a Hamilton double at a lower level and has 6lb extra to contend with but Salisbury maiden winner Neshmeya looks a promising type and could be on a fair mark for her handicap debut. LADY BERGAMOT followed her Newcastle maiden victory with a successful handicap debut at Leicester and is progressing fast enough to complete a hat-trick, though Fengate is interesting having had just one run for Roger Charlton after arriving from France.
