Formscan - PRETTYLADY won at odds of 22/1 on her handicap debut in this sphere at Stratford last month and is out to prove that was no fluke. Off just a 5lb higher mark, she could be hard to beat. Caspada produced a career-best effort when runner-up at Chepstow in April and is worth a market check ahead of his handicap bow. Of the remainder, Paragon makes the most appeal.
