Qeyaadah and ALINSTANTE have similar form in that both made winning starts but failed to figure in pattern company last time. The latter makes more appeal as she didn't enjoy the best of luck when fifth in a Listed event at Sandown and gets another chance in this. Nucky Thompson won a maiden over today's trip at Lingfield last time and Wayward Hoof got off the mark with a win over 6f here three weeks ago. Richard Kingscote's presence suggests File Of Facts is capable of better and preferred to stablemate and newcomer Top Of The Rocks.
