Having won four of the seven renewals, Richard Fahey's representative is not easily overlooked though Musselburgh winner Novinophobia has a bit to find upped in class. Saturn Lace scored over 6f here in August but is up 10lb and collateral form gives her something to find with 5f winner Baby Ballerina. But this looks between the top two with Forever A Lady likely to go well dropping back down in class and NEW CALEDONIA going close when runner-up in this grade at Newmarket last time. The winner has since gone in again so the form looks solid and Mark Johnston's colt gets the nod with Quoteline Direct and My Two Scoops looking up against it.
