Little Lady Katie, Feeling Easy and Gregoria all finished close up behind Home Cummins at Doncaster earlier this month. There's nothing between that trio on today's revised terms. Rosalie Bonheur puts her unbeaten record on the line but she was easy to back last time at Salisbury and may be capable of better while Hawkin is heading in the right direction. Sandy Cay, Runner Runner and Conjuring all arrive off the back of recent wins but Crystal Malt disappointed last time at Ascot. MAYBE NOW BABY looked ready for an extra furlong when third here in July. She was only a neck behind Cockney Island, who ran very well in a valuable sales race at Doncaster subsequently, and could be well treated on her handicap debut with Joe Doyle taking off a further 5lb.
