Single Minded went close at Wolverhampton two runs ago when Mezzanotte finished third. The latter gets a change of headgear today while all of the remainder step up in distance including Sun Rising. David Brown’s filly missed out by only a short-head at Wolverhampton last time with Eight Of Diamonds a close-up fifth and Olimba well beaten. Herbertandflorence and Haunted Dream look likely to improve for the longer distance but the same comment applies to ALPINE LADY, a half-sister to several middle-distance winners, and she gets a speculative vote.
