PENELOPE'S SISTER arrives in good form and can land a second C&D success of the campaign. The hat-trick seeking Keep Me Stable rates an obvious danger, while Detective is also respected as a last-time-out winner.

On a hat-trick after Musselburgh wins over 7f and 1m in recent weeks. A further 4 lb rise is unlikely to prevent her making a bold bid.
