Formscan  - This is competitive, but LADY GORMIRE shades the vote on the back of a comfortable success at Catterick. The daughter of Lope De Vega made every yard on that occasion and could again be hard to reel in. Homestrait is respected under a 6lb penalty for her Haydock victory, while the hat-trick seeking So Sassy is another consider, despite having yet to win on turf.
