Mugeba is getting a bit frustrating to follow but is given one last chance to come good here, Oceancookie and Ellens Princess look to be the main dangers. Gay Kelleway's four-year-old was in decent form during the winter and hasn't been beaten far in four races back on the turf. She was only beaten a couple of lengths by Aahgowangowan at Thirsk last time and this looks a much easier task. Oceancookie is a filly in fine form this season and once again has conditions to suit, she should be there or thereabouts today. Meanwhile Ellens Princess comes into the argument on her recent third behind Ruman at Lingfield. Gossip Queen is from a top yard and is one to watch out for in the betting market, but if any horse in the line up deserves a victory it is Mugeba.
