Cheng Gong has switched yards since winning over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in June and is 4lb higher. AFFAIR is 7lb higher than when successful over track and trip earlier but an apprentice’s allowance helps on that score and having placed on a couple of occasions subsequently, Hughie Morrison’s mare looks the one to side with. Lauberhorn Rocket was still well beaten when third at Bath and Sunshineandbubbles’ winning run came to an end at the same track while Red Archangel’s earlier win at Wolverhampton came over a mile.
