In depth
Verdict
Lady Of York has won twice at Chelmsford this year but has only run once on Turf in the last three years. Sunshineandbubbles is a Wolverhampton specialist but she did record a first win on Turf at Chepstow last month and is still fairly treated, despite a 4lb rise. Tiar Na Nog is best at Windsor but can’t be ignored and Madeeh is thrown in on the pick of last year’s form. FLOWER POWER is hard to catch right but is only a pound higher than when sauntering clear of toiling rivals over this trip at Catterick in the autumn and is a stronger stayer than recent course winner Petit Bay and Apache Blaze.
