Verdict
ADA LOVELACE already has a course and distance win to her name and John Gallagher's speedy mare can take advantage of her inside draw to land this - she was only beaten half-a-length off this mark at Chelmsford in August. Chelmsford winner Dark Profit looks a danger while Mossgo is bidding for a sixth course and distance victory. Royal Acquisition has won twice around here and got back to winning ways at Redcar last month but Harrogate Fair, Barbs Princess and Pillar Box have questions to answer at present and Picansort is much better handicapped on Turf.
