El Mirage probably deserves a change of luck and won off a 10lb higher mark over 6f here last year. But he hasn't scored since and has been creeping up the handicap again lately. Carrera also keeps finding one too good while Little Indian and Barbary arrive out of sorts. AMBELLA won her maiden here in February and hinted at a revival at Bath last time when she possibly found the going too slow and was hampered in the home straight. She's dropped to a mark from which she should be competitive in a race like this.
