Noble Call has a chance here on his best form and drops to a more suitable distance. Quill And Vellum is another with claims and he clearly found 1m4f too far when sent off favourite at Wexford in August. But we'll take a chance on ONLY EXCEPTION, who tackles good ground for the first time. Her half-sister, Solar Spirit, was best on a quicker surface and Mick Grassick's filly could find further improvement now fitted with headgear. Solar Heat may be the pick of the remainder but this handicap lacks strength in depth overall.
