Pillar Of Steel has had a busy summer, placing three times at Worcester, but she is still 6lb higher than for her last success. SASHENKA has changed stables since breaking her maiden over track and trip in February but she still has a bit of scope in handicaps off this sort of mark. Sarceaux would have a chance off bottom weight if fully wound-up while Aliomaana should make a bold bid to defy a 4lb rise for winning at Stratford. Princess T is preferred to Addosh of the others.
