On We Go has pulled up the last twice and Paris Dixie failed to complete when last seen at Hereford in November. It was soft going when JERSEY LADY won over a similar trip at Plumpton last month but she has plenty of form on this quicker surface so is preferred to the consistent Emily Wade and Killarney maiden winner Mary Cassatt, though the latter has been improving as she’s been stepped up in distance.
