Formscan  - It wouldn't be a huge surprise if Maura Jeanne bounced back from her latest performance at Sedgefield. However, she remains 8lb higher than her success at Ayr the time before and may be vulnerable to an improver in the shape of BALLYHIHO. Her pedigree suggests the step up in trip will be very much in her favour in what appears to be a winnable contest. Joanna I'm Fine completes the shortlist.
