Most can be given a chance including Mina Vagante and Lucky Turn, who both scored over 1m2f last time with the former the more impressive winner. Chicago Doll won over 1m4f at Wolverhampton while Point In Time was placed in a higher grade at Newmarket and is another to consider. Manorah drops in class in first-time headgear but this is tougher than the race Maroon Bells won at Lingfield in August. HONFLEUR is another with claims having placed at Yarmouth on her handicap debut and it’s Sir Michael Stoute’s filly that gets the speculative vote with blinkers fitted and a talented apprentice taking 5lb off her back today.
