Course specialist LADY FLORENCE can be the heroine once more, with the progressive Eager To Bow considered the main danger. Scobie Coogan's mare is a prolific front-runner on this unique track and jockey Russell Kennemore gets on well with her. The duo teamed up for victory here earlier in the month and off a 4lb higher mark it's conceivable that she'll win again, although rain would probably be a negative. Amber Sunset is 4lb higher than when winning at Epsom last month and she is still well-treated on her 2008 form, whilst Island Home threatens as if there is better to come and the handicapper is giving this French recruit a chance. Divinsky will help make sure they don't go a crawl and he's tough as old boots, and probably rates more of a danger than the consistent duo of Phluke and Could It Be Magic. Eager To Bow looks the main threat however, with Pat Chaming's upwardly mobile son of Acclamation proven at the track and in good form. He chases a fourth win in his last five starts but the worry is that the handicapper may now have nailed him with a 5lb rise for his latest success.
