Formscan - GRAIN OF HOPE has to concede 7lb all round, having got off the mark at the third time of asking in this sphere, but the sharp nature of this track appears likely to play to her strengths and she gets the vote to land back-to-back victories. Majestic Jameela (third) and Limelight (fourth) were behind the selection at Ludlow and are expected to play similar roles.
