Global Style has placed here but has yet to win anywhere in 27 attempts while Wolverhampton winner Mostallim escaped a penalty at Chelmsford last time but could only finish fifth. Socru gets a change of headgear in the hope of improvement and is preferred to Bernard Spierpoint and Canimar while The Game Of Life and RAHA are closely matched on running over a mile here last month. But the latter had finished closer in a higher grade over track and trip before that and she gets another chance back over 7f today.
