CARTAGENA showed her form and well-being when winning over this trip last time and a 5-point penalty isn't likely to prevent another forward showing. LAVA LAMP is better than her last start and her rider's 4kg allowance will help. ARLINGTON ACTION, CHABAL and COPPER PLATE are also capable stayers with the means to have a say in the outcome.
