The veteran Card High gained the seventh victory of his career over 1m4f at Hamilton and has no problems with the longer trip. But he has a 5lb penalty to contend and SMART LASS may have his measure. A winner at Musselburgh in August, she's another who relishes a stamina test and should get one in these condition. Flashing Approach has never raced on ground this soft or over the trip but Lizzie Loch gained her only victory to date over the course and distance and has no problems staying. Queen Of Camelot has only had five starts and showed a bit more potential here last month.
