The drop back in trip should suit LUNA LACY, who was too free when a promising fifth at Musselburgh earlier this month. She gets the nod. What A Girl Wants has proven expensive to follow but looks the obvious danger nonetheless.

Verdict
Hasn't progressed/looked entirely straightforward since a promising start in Ireland in the spring but made the frame again, on second start for Nigel Tinkler, when second of 6 in novice at Pontefract (6f, good to soft, 9/2) 12 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Sets the standard.

Verdict
Twice-raced filly who shaped much better than bare result when fifth of 9 in maiden at Musselburgh (7f, good to firm, 33/1) 17 days ago, doing too much too soon. Should have more to offer.
