This looks a lot easier than the Listed handicap that MIDNIGHT JAZZ contested last month at Newbury. She wasn't disgraced and an earlier defeat of Avispa at Taunton is decent form so she can make the most of the 6lb she receives from Princess Tara, who never seems to run a bad race but is possibly better over further than this. Coco Des Champs went close last time at Towcester but might be taking on a couple of decent mares in this. Goldray will probably also come up short unless she finds more improvement and Ginny's Tonic and Shoofly Milly might need more time.
