Formscan - SMURFETTE was a gutsy winner over and extended 3m here earlier in the month and looks progressive enough to handle stepping up in trip from just 3lb higher. Lilting Verse was a well-held fourth in that race but could feasibly get closer over this longer distance. However, Copshill Lad is a more proven stayer and could be a bigger danger.
