The fitting of a hood has seen improvement from

(treble) so the removal of it is a slight concern. She will certainly handle the conditions and her easy seven-length reappearance success suggests she remains progressive. The other positive is the form of her yard which has a 40 per cent strike rate over the last 14 days. There is likely to be more to come from who finished last season with a soft-ground victory at Newbury.

beat three rivals at Lingfield. That form does not appear all that strong but she is willing and may well have improved.

This looks a good opportunity for

(nap) to return to winning ways. He was a tad disappointing in Meydan but there is nothing wrong with his form last year. He found the classy Order Of St George too strong in the Irish St Leger and here in the British Champions Long Distance Cup but had taken his scalp earlier in the season in a Group Three at Navan. That level of form suggests he is the one to beat. has about the same chance on official figures but he has to prove his

This could be another one for Ryan Moore. He partners for William Haggas. The selection has just finished a successful season on the all-weather, winning three and twoice coming second. The last of those victories came in a similar event at Lingfield and he does look progressive. hails from an in-form stable that had winners at both Nottingham and Brighton yesterday. He won a valuable and very competitive handicap here over seven furlongs last October and finished the campaign with a couple of solid performances. He may have further improvement and the same can be said of The key to him is good or softer ground judged on his efforts last season. They included a couple of victories in tough handicaps at Haydock and Newbury.
