In depth
Verdict
It could pay to stick with DON'T BE as she bids for a hat-trick. She won a shade cosily at Lingfield earlier this month and can shrug off a 4lb rise. Eriktaan went close to landing a double when beaten a nose over track and trip last time and Footstepsintherain has rattled-up a string of placed efforts recently. Burning Blaze finally showed some improvement for a slide down the weights over 6f here last time and Midnight Rider may also figure.
