Pontefract winner Stars Over The Sea failed to cope with a 7lb rise last time and Ruwasi missed out on a hat-trick when well beaten off today’s mark at Ascot recently. Stockhill Diva is now 11lb higher than when scoring at Windsor back in May and it remains to be seen how Zamperini gets on upped in class off a higher mark having won at Sandown in July. Given those doubts, it could be worth taking a chance on the fitness of Saeed Bin Suroor’s IMPORTANT MESSAGE, who has not raced for over a year but was placed in Class 2 company on his handicap debut and is entered in a Group 2 later in the year.
