Very Well Red is no forlorn hope dropped in class back on turf, while Timocracy reversed earlier form with Duneen Dream when runner-up over C&D a fortnight ago and he should go close again. Shamardal Phantom's only win so far came over further on the Polytrack and Ocean Of Peace was beaten in similar company at Nottingham on Wednesday. TAP DANCE WAY won over a mile here in August but the Azamour filly is expected to relish this step up in trip and wouldn't have to improve much to get her head back in front here.
