Vinomore may still have a bit of scope over fences while Pistol Basc's second to La Pantera Rosa at Wetherby in May was his best effort for a while. Wait No More could figure if running to his best and Local Present and Midnight Charmer aren't without a chance off low weights. FAREWELLATMIDNIGHT won over C&D in April and was closing on the leaders when falling three out on a return visit to the course the following month. Alex Hales' mare should have more to offer this winter and can make a winning reappearance. See You Jack has been off the track since June last year but it would be no surprise to see Caroline Bailey's seven-year-old in the firing-line as well.
