LUCYS GIRL won over 2m4f in a higher grade here last August and this looks her best chance since. She wouldn't want much rain but can make the most of the 8lb she receives from Barton Heather, just touched off at Uttoxeter last month and only a couple of pounds higher. Thornton Alice won off a pound higher around this time last year but she may need a more searching test of stamina nowadays, though did finish well ahead of Kingsfold Flare at Plumpton last time.
