GALE FORCE MAYA bounced back to form when third in the Summer Stakes at York and a reproduction of that form may well prove good enough. Believing had excuses in a Group 2 in France so can be expected to bounce back despite her 5 lb penalty, while Demi Pointe is an interesting contender back from an absence given how the form of her novice win at Chelmsford has worked out.
