Best Odds
Not beaten too far when seventh here in a Listed race six weeks ago upped to 1m4f; has won previously at this course; can be on the premises as shown she can get her head in front and down in class.

Successful by 4½l to claim second C&D win last month; yet to taste defeat over this C&D, winning on all two attempts; thriving of late with form figures in the last six races of 321121; looks likely to be involved despite having more on her plate and the substantial hike in the weights seems fair.

A previous winner here; finished tenth, beaten 9l, 49 days ago when dropped down to 1m4f in a stakes race; more than capable if on song so hard to dismiss.

Verdict
This tight-looking race poses an interesting puzzle - Teo Torriatte is respected, however, is off a much higher mark than last time while C&D winner Duchess Of Paloma is respected. However, preference is for LAVA LAMP. She is a two-time winner at this track.
