Referundum was fourth over a slightly longer trip here last month but looks one-paced and this will be first experience of a rain-softened surface. Berkshire Beauty has also raced exclusively on good ground or quicker so far but could be interesting on her handicap debut while Simone On Time has been knocking on the door and was only beaten a head over course and distance two runs ago. Lexi's Red Devil has been placed twice on the all-weather but been less impressive on Turf. MYWAYALWAYS had to be switched around rivals in the closing stages at Salisbury last time. He stayed on strongly close home and, though a couple of pounds higher, can finally come good here.
