Nicky Henderson and Kim Bailey are having an excellent year with their bumper runners and both have strong chances here. The master of Seven Barrows relies on FLORESSA who makes a lot of appeal on her pedigree and in receipt of the fillies allowance. Shantou Express is related to horses who have been effective from 5f up to 3m6f. He is one to note in the market as his stable are having a good week. Court Dancer is another who could merit support, but Weapons Out has run to a similar modest level on both starts and he will have to do a lot better here.
