A case can be made for most but LOLA'S THEME is taken to enhance the strong record of Dascombe and Kingscote at this venue. The Iffraaj filly enjoyed a fruitful juvenile career, will be suited by any further softening of conditions and made a solid return to action when a respectable fourth at Chester. She should be better suited to this more conventional track and is preferred to Felix, who made a solid start under the care of Sir Michael Stoute at Doncaster and should progress further. Korcho also posted a satisfactory performance the last day and now takes a notable drop in grade, whilst recent winner, Jackamundo, and Cape Islay cannot be ruled out in an open affair.
