Stamp Duty was last successful in this race back in 2014. Kay Sera won her first race after 16 attempts when scoring over 1m4f here last time while Pensax Lady went close again last month having won over track and trip before that. Outlaw Torn pops-up when the mood takes him and was runner-up at Chelmsford earlier in the week and Kristal Hart won at the same track back in March. But LA HAVRESE (NAP) has won three times this year including a couple over course and distance and she gets the vote back over today’s trip after finishing second over a mile here at the start of the month.
