David Wachman has two entries with jockey bookings suggesting that BACK TO BASE, a debut winner on fast ground at Limerick in June before a fair run in a Group 3, is more forward than Booker and gets the vote. Sparkle Factor had looked a nice prospect before ending the season with a moderate effort at York which didn't look her form. Princess Aloof completed a double on testing ground at Leopardstown and is 11lb higher but she's won on fast going so conditions shouldn't be too much of a problem. Both Glassatura and Duchess Andorra have won their latest starts though the latter's was on the ice at St Moritz.
