Goolagong Girl won easily enough at Bath last time but an 8lb rise seems harsh and she faces tougher opposition today. That includes ZUBAIDAH, third at Wolverhampton last time having slipped down the weights and perhaps good enough to land this. Western Playboy attempts a mile for the first time having placed over 7f at Salisbury but Ocean Crystal was raised 6lb for winning a plating race here last month and returned a beaten favourite last time. Goodwood Moonlight ran better than his finishing position suggested last time and could go well.
