Another small field and this should be plain sailing for MA FILLEULE. The French import is giving 5lb to her rivals but should be up to the task having won a Grade 2 at Warwick three weeks ago against stronger opposition. Tweedledrum may be the one to chase her home as she's improved this season, winning at Ascot and Kempton. Detour Ahead only beat one home at Carlisle last time, however, and her best form is on a much softer surface while Wilde Ruby doesn't look good enough at this level.
