A couple of these bid for hat-tricks. Not Your Call landed a double over 6f here last month but had won over track and trip back in May. He’s upped a further 4lb while BRICK LANE is penalised having won a couple of races over 7f at Wolverhampton. But Josephine Gordon could afford to ease down the latter in the closing stages last time and the top weight gets the nod to go in again. Quite A Story won over 6f at Goodwood recently and Big Storm Coming ended a long losing run with a victory at Thirsk during the week and carries 6lb extra. Anastazia is not out of this either off her current mark.
