Verdict

Harvest Day won this in 2019 but has struggled on faster ground since scoring on soft at Musselburgh in May. LADY ROCKSTAR has been well supported in all four of her races to date without hitting the mark. The longer trip may help her to lose her maiden tag and the one that beat her last time won easily at Epsom subsequently. Elegant Erin hasn’t won for two years though has been narrowly beaten the last twice while Rhyme Scheme won a seller at Brighton last month. Kylie Rules last won a race over two years ago from a mark of 81 and she’s down to 58 here.
