A winner over a mile at Newcastle, Tortoise is 10lb higher today and her earlier efforts at longer trips were unconvincing. Power Up and Shamouti have been thereabouts over 1m4f at the track and Kraka Gym was placed over 7f here in April. But there's a host of less exposed types to consider including Fickle Feelings, Victory Danz and Miss Lucy Jane with a speculative vote going to SEQUESTER. She drops down a grade after making her handicap debut at Lingfield and improvement is expected from David Lanigan's half-sister to Group 2 winner Albert Hall.
