A couple of these went close when last in action. Dubai Days is fitted with a hood on his debut for new connections having just missed out at Killarney on his debut back in May while Ladronne has undergone wind surgery since beaten a neck at Market Rasen and has also switched yards. But LA CHANTEUSE has a fitness advantage having placed on a trip over to Carlisle last month and the Irish filly may well prove good enough in this. Empty Quarter is another likely improver while the newcomer Style Nelson cost E65,000 and is related to winners on the Flat.
