Lady Nayef went close at Chelmsford last time but over 6f and an earlier second over today's trip came on heavy ground. EARLY BIRD is preferred on her latest effort over 5f when runner-up in a handicap at Musselburgh. Richard Fahey's filly also makes more appeal than Haughmond, beaten only a nose over track and trip last month but with something to find on today's terms. Lady Elizabeth is another with a bit to do at the weights but Kingsley Klarion is a half-brother to the smart sprinter Mukhmal and a newcomer to keep an eye on.
