De Bruyne always seems to attract market support but he keeps coming up short and hasn’t raced over 7f since last year’s debut. Kimnkate is in cracking form and has been for a while Pastiche and Zouzanna remain relatively unexposed. Gulmarg has been threatening to get his head back in front and Metahorse has found only one too good the last twice. STARLIGHT NATION was on an upward curve before disappointing at Newbury in June. She’s had a break since and could enjoy a profitable autumn campaign. Havana Pusey has been confined to sprinting so far while Vermilion has a lengthy absence to overcome.
