Not a lot in the way of pace here. ASHADY HUSSY made a nice return when beaten less than a length. Looks well placed here and fitter again. Rates a leading hope. PRINCE MONARCH is racing well this campaign, and was beaten half a length in this class latest. Have to include. POPOVA is a Victorian mare who rates well here. If she makes the trip keep very safe. SYLVAN CREST is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ashady Hussy should go close.
