Bedford Blaze has switched yards since winning at Wolverhampton back in March and is 8lb higher on her return. EPSOM FAITHFULL is creeping closer to ending a losing run having slipped down the weights and was beaten less than a length at Lingfield last time. This is no tougher and she may come out best. Granary Queen’s recent second at Ffos Las came over a longer trip but both Amathus and Desert Land scored over 6f back in April and the latter gets a change of headgear.
