Verdict
Willie Wag Tail was well supported on his recent reappearance but was never in the hunt. Mubtadi won over 1m2f here in June off a similar mark and could be thereabouts along with Stock Hill Fair. But Hedge End and Glennten look high enough in the weights at present and Last Minute Lisa is 10lb higher than when scoring at Goodwood in September. PAST FORGETTING (NAP) has yet to win but looks to have a good opportunity in this having finished runner-up here last time and Luca Cumani's filly gets the nod to open her account.
