Heavy ground won't bother LADY WILLA and Mark Gillard's mare can concede weight to some very modest performers, even though she's a couple of pounds higher than when a close second at Plumpton last month. Bringewood Belle hasn't run over this trip since her bumper days and was pulled up at Fontwell last month but she's another that will handle the going and makes more appeal than Hector's House, who often flatters to deceive, and the veteran Kinkeel.
