12/1, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) 11 days ago, keeping on well. Raised 3 lb for that victory but should be in the mix once again.

Forecasts

Vincenzo Coccotti (9/4), Mrs Benson (3/1), Aiguillette (10/3), Global Acclamation (6/1), Zahirah (13/2), Itmakesyouthink (15/2), Broughton Excels (10/1), Fuwairt (14/1), Rockesbury (22/1), Zhukovsky (28/1), Frow (33/1), No Diggity (33/1), Secret Treaties (66/1), Mama Africa (100/1)

MRS BENSON just held Aiguillette at Kempton earlier in the month and those two look the most likely winners once again. Mrs Benson overcame a tricky draw that day and she has the services of Hollie Doyle today so is marginally preferred of the pair. Itmakesyouthink also scored over the 7f at Kempton that evening and will be a threat here.
