LADY FROM GENEVA relished the stamina test when scoring over fences here last month and a strong gallop would aid her cause. She'd been running well over timber earlier and can gain her first success over the smaller obstacles. Uranox had shown nothing before a much better run at Plumpton and a similar effort would see him go close. Shalianzi won at Stratford in August on good ground but has failed to fire in much softer conditions on this track subsequently while Thepartysover hasn't won a race since February 2013 and is better over fences.
