Bonita B may do better back over today’s trip while Sense Of Security went close over a shorter distance at Bath last time and has switched yards. Delahoussaye wasn’t beaten far over 6f recently and is fitted with additional headgear while Cheese The One disappointed at Wolverhampton on her latest start. But MY AMBITION has posted better efforts in handicaps lately and would have finished closer than fourth at Kempton last time with a clear run. He gets a speculative vote in an open contest.
