Pageant Material, Doctor Dotty and Galante De Romay came home first, third and fourth over course and distance last month. There was only just over four lengths between the three of them and, with similar heavy conditions forecast here, there should be little between the trio again. None of them are that consistent, however, and are taken on with DICEY RIELLY. Peter Bowen's mare found 2m too short two starts back and was still travelling well when falling over fences next time. She's not been seen since September but this trip should suit.
