BAND OF VELVET (2) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 5.5 lengths away in third (29.95). Has performed well from this box with a win and six minor placings to her name from 12 starts. Overdue and is among the main hopes. SLANEYSIDE NOIR (5) had second look this course and distance latest and improved on her time, finishing a 9 length second in 30.06. Top run latest and can measure up here. CORRIN DOROTHY (6) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (30.05) at this track behind Laurens Princess in an A7. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Expected to feature. KIND BESSY (3) is not to be discarded.
