Winner of both her starts here; ground too fast at Ascot, this more to her liking

Impressed in the manner of his debut win in C&D maiden a fortnight ago; could go well
7 (5)	Red Earth b J:Seamie Heffernan T:J A Stack	J:Seamie Heffernan T:J A Stack	131	—	1	-	89	73	38d	—	—	+6	11.6	16/1 6%

Richmond fourth will appreciate stiffer track but more needed to play major role
9 (6)	Arugam Bay b J:Chris Hayes T:Eddie & Patrick Harty	J:Chris Hayes T:Eddie & Patrick Harty	128	—	52116	93	104	92	35d	—	—	+20	25.9	18/1 5%
Speedy filly won Listed Tipperary Stakes over 5f but this stiff 6f could find her out

Best form at 5f, cheekpieces tried last time may help him to see out this trip better
