Bounty Pursuit’s winning run came to an end at Salisbury last time but had beaten Fantasy Justifier over track and trip before that. The Groove finished ahead of Danecase when scoring on the Turf at Lingfield recently while Canford Art arrives from Ireland in good form having won over 6f earlier. Foxy Femme has also been running well over shorter trips but PLUMETTE (NAP) went close over course and distance last time having slipped back down the weights since scoring here in May and Dave Loughnane’s filly looks the one to be on.
