Outside World has a good pedigree - she is out of Group 1 winner Nahoodh - and she made an encouraging to her career when only narrowly beaten at Lingfield recently. Outside World showed good pace and ran to a level that sets a clear standard in this contest. She will take plenty of stopping if building on that effort.
Monsieur Lambrays - 16:25 York
Monsieur Lambrays progressed well last season and was an authoritative winner of this contest. He has been below his best on both outings this term but this represents a drop in class and he is only 2 lb higher than when successful here last year. Andrea Atzeni is an interesting jockey booking and it would be no surprise were he to bounce back.
Pagan got off the mark with something to spare at Pontefract last month, winning by a cosy half-length after overcoming a positional bias (raced away from the rail). He didn't need to match the form he had shown when runner-up in a red-hot Yarmouth maiden and he looks well treated on his handicap debut based on that form.
