Lady Rascal has been in the mix since scoring over 1m2f at Salisbury earlier but another chance goes to BRAVURA. The latter was having his first outing since January when a beaten favourite at Doncaster but this extra distance will suit and the Prescott yard remains in top form. Songo was due to run over hurdles at Newton Abbot yesterday while Hidden Depths returns to the Flat having won over fences last month.
