Military Madame beat subsequent Leicester winner Cascella over slightly shorter here last month and is a pound better off, though failed to fire when favourite to follow up on the track 10 days later. Power Sail has found some form and was a close third at Beverley after winning over this trip at Redcar, though is very closely matched with Straight Ash. There has been some rain and that should help SOSIAN, who is still a maiden but showed a big improvement stepped up to a mile at Thirsk and drops down a grade for this.
