Mama Quilla and Astra Hall could both play a part here if back on song.

SADLER'S RISK made a bold attempt to make all at Newmarket last week and was just collared. He is accustomed to carrying big weights and this slightly easier grade could see him back in the winner's enclosure as the lightly-raced Sir Bedivere has been rested since running a shocker on his handicap debut.
