NICE VINTAGE made a successful raid over track and trip last month when scoring by a cosy two lengths. She can defy a 6lb rise with Kieren Fallon taking over the reins. Hillgrove Angel beat lower rated horses to win a seller at Chepstow back in September and Lostock Hall slips further down the weights after a better effort at Nottingham. Grand Canyon and Royal Regent remain lightly raced and the latter won his maiden here while San Cassiano has a shout back over today’s trip after going close over 1m4f at Musselburgh.
