VIXEY has taken her form up a notch this year, making it 3 wins from her last 6 starts with a decisive success at this C&D last time, so she could be capable of adding to her tally in her current mood. Vince Le Prince wasted no time getting back on track when fifth at Catterick 10 days ago and is feared most in first-time blinkers, ahead of Eligible.
