A competitive nursery with the vote awarded to the consistent if hitherto luckless TAKEITFROMALADY. Ralph Beckett has his string in useful end-of-season form and his Intikhab offspring can go one better following commendable efforts the last twice in decent company. Hopefully, the first-time application of blinkers will prove beneficial. Basantee has enjoyed a fruitful campaign but all her three wins have arrived at trips less than a mile, although another solid effort is anticipated. Costa Del Fortune and Emmuska form a solid double salvo for the Hannon team, while market support for Imperial Stargazer on this handicap bow would be worth taking seriously.
