Shadows Ofthenight and Agreement were both well behind Cotton Club at Bath but the latter needs fast going, which he won't get here. All ground appears to come alike to JOLIE BLONDE, who shrugged off a lengthy absence to make a winning reappearance on Polytrack. She's now been first past the post in her last four starts and should have more to offer. Annaluna has been going well around here lately and could be the one for forecast-backers as Astra Hall appears to have lost the plot.
