Bartzella and Kingsofthemidlands are both penalised for earlier wins and both failed to land the odds on their respective latest starts. The former now has something to prove over today’s trip but COUNTRY PYLE should relish the extra distance. Placed in all three outings over 1m2f, the half-sister to Coronation Cup winner Pyledriver can open her account on these terms. Nell The Thief can only improve while the newcomer Without Envy has plenty of stamina in his pedigree.
