Footprint doesn't have a brilliant record on the all-weather but he's 4lb lower than when scoring at Sligo in the summer. Pour La Victoire has gained all three of his Turf victories at Brighton and also won on Polytrack at Lingfield in October. Tony Carroll's charge should go well while though Wishyouwerehere didn't show much on Turf during the summer he's won here and gone well on several occasions so can get involved. After looking progressive when scoring at Galway, So Sensible finished last on his debut on this surface and though that can't have been his true form he's probably best watched for now. CORKER HILL had been threatening to win before doing so over a mile here in September. She couldn't quite cope with Almosthaditall last week and is 2lb higher but is in better form than her rivals and can get back to winning ways. Your Pal Tal returned from a spell in France with a fair run behind Kimbay a fortnight ago and is one to keep on the right side.
