Charlie Appleby runs three but Wordcraft is 15lb higher than her earlier win at Kempton Wanting won at Haydock back in May off a 7lb lower mark and Risen Sun looks no nearer to getting her head in front. Queen's Pearl's bid for a hat-trick came unstuck in Listed company last time and she is now 12lb higher than when scoring easily at Nottingham while it remains to be seen how Lady Correspondent fares now handicapping after a couple of starts in Group 3 races over 7f. LINKS DRIVE LADY beat Tohfa at Goodwood in May and went close again on the Turf at Lingfield recently. Dean Ivory's filly is preferred to stablemate Golden Amber and gets a tentative vote.
