EAST COAST LADY won a handicap here in March and is still only 2lb higher despite completing a recent double on Turf. She has an obvious chance of a hat-trick while Lady Perignon, a winner at Epsom in September, ran very well at Newmarket before finding Fibresand against her at Southwell. Wahaab has won twice on Turf in the past few weeks and Daring Guest has been in good form in the same period but Leicester winner Champagne Bob hasn't shown the same ability on the all-weather. African Blessing is well treated at his best.
