Equistar won a maiden race at Leicester three weeks ago having earlier finished behind runner-up Go Nani Go over 5f here. Royal Brave has been back on a winning mark for a while and is getting closer but Dyllan and Nag's Wag have something to prove off their current marks having both won earlier in the year. The latter comment could also apply to BELLEDESERT, but Steph Hollinshead’s filly has recorded both wins to date over track and trip and is back in this lower grade for the first time since scoring here in May. It could be her turn again.
