VESTIBULE still carries a penalty for last week's win at Bath. He's been beaten back at the same track since but only by a head and, off the same mark here, can go one better. Not Now Blondie scored at Wolverhampton last month but should have finished closer on her latest start while Grilletto shared favouritism at Kempton last time but ran a shocker and is dropped in trip today. Empowerment has failed to show any progress in three starts so far and Bay Laurel has yet to build on her early form on the Polytrack where showed some promise.
