Lady Joanna Vassa has been thereabouts in her last two starts and this won’t take much winning, though preference is for HARBOUR LIGHTNING. Noel Wilson’s three-year-old went close twice over 5f at Beverley as a juvenile so the extra half-furlong here should prove ideal. Lizzy's Dream was second at Musselburgh before finishing fourth last time at Ayr but is only 1-35 on Turf. Thatcherite has had three runs since returning from injury so should be approaching peak fitness and is well treated nowadays.
